Thoughts on Target Heart Rate?

[M-Rad]

I don't know how he came up with hr number. I am older but I think that number was based on the fact that once I start hitting 150 hr, my stress goes up. I literally feel like an anemic person with asthma, I huff and puff with no energy to turn the pedals.

Ps - one final thing. On the road, I never ever ride in my big chain ring (only on descents then it's right back down again to spinning).

On trainer, I ride in my easiest gear.

Again, this is not to put pressure on legs or cause hr to go up above my allotted max.
