Info: HR figures for team members

[Mike Channin]

Have created thread this so people can post their HR figures.

[Mike Channin]

Ok - here are mine to start us off:

Age 35 - Weight 85 kg - 5'11"

HR Max - 196 (1 year back, coming back from injury)
Realistic HR Max (trained) - probably about 192

Resting Heart Rate - 36
Lowest ever RHR - 33 (back in 2000 when did a lot of cross training)

HR Bands
50% - 117
60% - 133
70% - 149
75% - 157
80% - 164
85% - 172
90% - 180
95% - 188

Other: Very susceptable to altitude for some reason. Adapt ok after a few days, but suffer quite badly to start with.

Will try to remember to post my HR figures in my logbook from now on as well (as Derry Lad already does).

Updated below

[jainser]

Haven't worked out my resting HR yet but max'ed out at 201 on 6k row.

Height - 6' 2"
Weight - 18st
Eyes - Blue (not sure if that makes a difference!!)

[Rita]

220 - 37 years old = HR max 183.
85% = 155
75% = 137
65% = 119

[Fatt Matt]

Post-wee pre-coffee early morning Resting Heart Rate: 59
Help-I'm-going-to-die end of 2k Max Heart Rate: 190

%HRR HR
55 = 131
70 = 151
80 = 164
85 = 170
90 = 177

These funny percentages correlate to the Concept2 website training programme Training Bands:

Band - From - To
UT2 - 131 - 151 (55% - 70%) - Utilisation 2 - "Easy-peasy"
UT1 - 151 - 164 (70% - 80%) - Utilisation 1 - "No Worries"
AT - 164 - 170 (80% - 85%) - Anaerobic Threshold - "Huff, puff"
TR - 170 - 177 (85% - 90%) - Oxygen Transportation - "Urgh"
AN - 177 - 190 (85% - 100%) - Anaerobic - "bleeeeeaaurgh"

Now, I ain't convinced about these bands but thought an illustration along with the whole HR thing might be of interest.

[jainser]

Finally remembered to take my resting HR - 58
So now based my newly purchased 'Heart Monitir training for the complete idiot' book I can now work out my (more accurate) figures.

You were right Mike, book is very good.

[Mike Channin]

Glad you're finding it useful.

I've read a few books on this, usually running based, and they usually tend to blind you with science to the degree that it is difficult to map the programmes and plans over to rowing.

HRTFTCI, in contrast, is so easy to understand, Hard/Easy, 85%+/Max 70% that it is easy to follow. I can vouch for the effectiveness of the claims made - I did vastly improve all my PBs as a consequence.

New Max heart rate so I've updated my values

Age 26

Max - 195
Min - 49

0.50 - 122 -- 0.55 - 129
0.60 - 137 -- 0.65 - 144
0.70 - 151 -- 0.75 - 159
0.80 - 166 -- 0.85 - 173
0.90 - 180 -- 0.95 - 188

[Thomas W-P]

Here are my bands using the new HR calculator :

* Your UT2 band is a heart rate of 131 bpm to 151 bpm with a mean of 141 bpm.
* Your UT1 band is a heart rate of 152 bpm to 165 bpm with a mean of 158 bpm.
* Your AT band is a heart rate of 166 bpm to 172 bpm with a mean of 169 bpm.
* Your TR band is a heart rate of 173 bpm to 185 bpm with a mean of 179 bpm.
* Your AN band is a heart rate of 186 bpm to 192 bpm with a mean of 189 bpm.

[johnglynn]

Nice tool Thomas

* Your UT2 band is a heart rate of 129 bpm to 151 bpm with a mean of 140 bpm.
* Your UT1 band is a heart rate of 152 bpm to 166 bpm with a mean of 159 bpm.
* Your AT band is a heart rate of 167 bpm to 173 bpm with a mean of 170 bpm.
* Your TR band is a heart rate of 174 bpm to 188 bpm with a mean of 181 bpm.
* Your AN band is a heart rate of 189 bpm to 195 bpm with a mean of 192 bpm.
* Your 70% heart rate is 151 bpm.
* Your 85% heart rate is 173 bpm.

So standard Recovery Pace is UT2, and standard hard pace is TR

[Thomas W-P]

Thanks. And yes, I think that TR is for short hard bursts (like 2000m!).

[BigWaveDave]

received my HR monitor for the PM3 today so first try with it tomorrow morninfg

Age 42
RHR 58 (I think - still need to get an accurate reading)
MHR - 178

* Your UT2 band is a heart rate of 124 bpm to 142 bpm with a mean of 133 bpm.
* Your UT1 band is a heart rate of 143 bpm to 154 bpm with a mean of 148 bpm.
* Your AT band is a heart rate of 155 bpm to 160 bpm with a mean of 157 bpm.
* Your TR band is a heart rate of 161 bpm to 172 bpm with a mean of 166 bpm.
* Your AN band is a heart rate of 173 bpm to 178 bpm with a mean of 175 bpm.
* Your 70% heart rate is 142 bpm.
* Your 85% heart rate is 160 bpm.

Well, being 57, I rounded mine to 165, because my resting rate if I sit quietly on the trusted C2 steed before exercising, is about 65. So all the percentages are easy, and I don't have to work the 'little grey cells' too hard.

I try to work in the 135 to 140 range for long rows, and rarely get above 155 when going for PBs. The biggest challenge is keeping the rate down and not trying to go for a PB every time I row.

[Stan]

On the basis of a resting pulse of 46 and the maximum rate I have achieved so far of 168 then my range is:

Your UT2 band is a heart rate of 113 bpm to 131 bpm with a mean of 122 bpm.
Your UT1 band is a heart rate of 132 bpm to 144 bpm with a mean of 138 bpm.
Your AT band is a heart rate of 145 bpm to 150 bpm with a mean of 147 bpm.
Your TR band is a heart rate of 151 bpm to 162 bpm with a mean of 156 bpm.
Your AN band is a heart rate of 163 bpm to 168 bpm with a mean of 165 bpm.
Your 70% heart rate is 131 bpm.
Your 85% heart rate is 150 bpm.

There is a similar thread running on the C2 UK forum at the moment:
