As a follow on from the Willy-Waving discussion between Imposter 2.0 vs First Aspect re the Max HR is or is not 220-age, I came across this GCN video on my FB feed. It's from last year but worth a watch as it discusses heart health and exercise especially cyclists. Very interesting viewing.

Sometimes. Maybe. Possibly.

    It is interesting from a general perspective. But just to clarify, there was no 'willy waving' (as you put it) from me. Just pushing back on FA's false equivalences and pathetic insults, which are there for all to see.

    And in case there is still any doubt, there is no question of any equivalence between 220 and establishing max HR. It always was - and still is - irrelevant for establishing an individual's true MHR. No doubt there will always be exceptions to that, but as a general principal it remains undeniably true.

    This link to a Joe Beer article (on this site, ironically) tretty much sums it up..

    I'll watch it at lunchtime. Thanks.

    I'd also recommend those Velonews articles I posted.

    That was a somewhat disingenuous, but sadly predictable comment. I suspect Nic is just trying to be helpful, which is commendable. Joe Beer also has some useful things to say on 220, maybe his comments aren't useful either...
