    You can also do a Google search for "sub-max heartrate test" and get a couple other options for estimating your max heart rate. I was told (like Eden mentioned) that your cycling max will be 5-10 beats lower than your running max.

    Good outline from Eden
    (again... you rock, girl!)

    My resting HR is 39bpm

    My guessed max HR is 183ish - I have never pushed myself to the actual "throwing up" stage.

    My lactate threshold (zones 5, 5a / anaerobic work) has increased about 16 beats since I started training - am hoping to get that done in a sports lab in a month or so.
