lol, Most seem to get higher in races anyway so unless in doubt no need to test again and Hadd even said 2-3 beats isn't going to make a difference to how you train.

Race max of 207, hence no need for a max test.

Similar to you Dave, I did a 5k today and got a MaxHR of 189 where my previous MaxHR test only recorded 181. Only 19.04 for me today. Not great, but I'm only 4 weeks into HADD so I wasn't expecting much better

from maffetone papers:
"There may be several reasons why anaerobic workouts can inhibit aerobic base building:
Anaerobic training can decrease the number of aerobic muscle fibers, sometimes significantly. This can happen in just a few short weeks of higher heart rate training.
The lactic acid produced during anaerobic training may inhibit the aerobic muscle enzymes necessary for building an aerobic base.
Anaerobic training raises your respiratory quotient. This means the percentage of energy derived from sugar increases and fat burning decreases. In time, this may force more anaerobic metabolism and less aerobic function.
Stress can also inhibit the aerobic system. Stress is nearly synonymous with anaerobic training. Excess stress raises cortisol levels, which ultimately increases insulin levels, inhibiting fat burning and increasing sugar usage. This promotes anaerobic metabolism and inhibits aerobic activity."
Is this all actually true and based on research? I know it all sounds plausible etc....

best to adjust your ranges now tizer. good run today on no races for 5 months, injuries and running form change. I think that is a prety quality run to be honest. 
15:53 for me on the same 5K run. No speed work for now 14 months. 2 years of interval training and I struggled to break 16:45. Who says Hadd doesn't work..........:):)

third attempt and much better control from me tonight - went nearly a mile further in the allotted hour than last night and at a lower average hr. Also, although still struggled to stay below 70% at the outset, things settled down much more quickly and was able to get into and hold a rhythm
