Interesting. You always hear about the generic "max" heart rate formula of 220-[your age], and then anaerobic and aerobic thresholds set as a percentage of "max". My wife is 34 and very fit. She regularly exercises at a heart rate of 185-190 for extended periods. This worries me, but she seems to be able to sustain it. She sweats a ton, but otherwise doesn't appear to have any ill effects. Her resting heart rate (or "idle") seems to run a bit high, like around 70-80. Given her fitness level, it would seem it would be lower. She does have Thallysemia (sp?), which is a blood disorder where, I believe, her red blood cells are "small".
This is an interesting thread.
