Max Pulse Change

Did my annual MP Test on Sunday. I do it on a Turbo so that I have repeatable testing conditions. All went ok but why is my MP getting higher as I age? It has risen by 2 bpm each year for the last 3 yrs. Shouldn't it drop? I'm 43 yrs and been cycling/racing for years.

    The value you're measuring is going up, not necessarily your actual HR max. Not the same thing.

    That's interesting because the last time it was checked (3 months ago) it was higher than I had seen it before. The nurse said nothing but I noticed. At the time I was more concerned with the high cholesterol figure (the first time I'd had this checked).

    As I get older I begin to wonder, although I'm not sure what ?
