Hi all,
This last year my resting HR dropped from 60 to 50. This got me thinking: When I reach my MAF of 146, my HR is now 96 beats above my resting HR, or is 192% higher than resting. OTOH, when I reached my MAF having a resting HR of 60, the increase was of 86 beats, or 143% increase.
It appears that the reduction in resting HR would represent a very high increase in work capacity at a given HR, for instance MAF. Using my example, 192% is a lot higher than 143%.
So my question is: How much has my work capacity increased by this reduction in HR? Actually, my question is: I dont know much about HR, does what I wrote above make sense at all?
