My resting HR is 72... is that high??? Actually it ranges between 68-72. I try to take it in the morning before I get up...

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.
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
