Max. heart rate
According to the Sports Coach Maximum Heart Rate Stress Tests page, I shouldn't have gone out to check my max. pulse today, since I was ill only last week. Oups.
Anyway, I'm going to pretend that my maximum heart rate was the rate I saw today when I stopped sprinting, 195 bpm. According to my heart monitor, I now have the heart of a 25-year-old guy.
My wife probably wishes all of me were in that kind of shape. In fact, it's a fluke. Dana said Mom's resting heart rate is quite high, around 90 bpm. I inherited hummingbird genes.

My heart rate has been high since I had cancer. Right afterward and for quite a while it was over 100 at rest. Don't really know what it was before that, since I never paid attention. And didn't go to the doctor that often to have it checked.

Yes, my aim is to end up like Jim Fixx. Die young, in a corpse with a high lactate threshold.
