No Sweat


Runner's World says that the maximum heart rate formula is 208 - (.7 x age).

That puts mine at 170. I've been consistently at 150 beats per minute, and have also hit 160 on the Cybex stationary bike recently, so I was interested in finding out where I should back off.

Anywhere over 140 and I'm getting a good burn based upon my breathing and sweat.

When I'm rowing in the Tender, I don't really get a burn in because there are two many distractions on the water.

What you really should build is a submarine, and mind the marblehead harbor. Or do other stuff. That would be awesome.
