Im aware that when using HR zones that they are sport specific and that my max hr on a bike will be lower than when running. As a rough guide, by how much lower is it on a bike ? My max when running is 184 if it helps,
I will be doing a ramp test on the weekend but i thought id ask on here to get an idea first.

Cheers all

    it can be *MORE* than your running max if you don't actually run (i.e., the only running you do is for a max test).

    Mine is 10 lower. Although I'm not sure this helps at all!

    Try going up long hills, I bet your HR will be similar to running. I know mine is.
