Question for the #running community using a #Garmin watch:

The max. HR detection seems off for me. The detected value for me is a max. HR of 198. Looking at different formulas, the results are lower:

Inputted values:

  • Age = 34
  • Weight = 92

Formulas:

  • Sally Edwards = 210 - (0,5 x age) -(0,022 x weight) + 4 ‎ = 194,976
  • Regular 220 - age ‎ = 186
  • Winfried Spanaus = 223 - (0,9 x age) ‎ = 192,4
  • Regression = 208 - (0,7 x age) ‎ = 184,2

In your opinion, is the detected max. HR for your profile accurate?
