Cool. I'm considering taking a few classes myself and maybe doing some
coaching (cycling). It's neat stuff and I have a much better understanding
of my own physiolog
Hey Patrick,
Declan did my physiologic testing, too. . . I took an exercise phys class
with him before I went to PT school. He is a very knowledgeable guy. I
wasn't aware that he'd co-authored that book.

cycling. A stress echo cardiogram is a closely controlled test to allow

I believe the physiology research shows folks do have max heart rates,
but trying to predict an individual's max from the published formulas
is not appropriate. The published formulas are based on statistical
fitting of large numbers of people, and the spread in the data is
