I shall never do a max test! Must have a good reason to push myself to the edge

Spr,
I am with you. I prefer more motivation to get to max levels.

The key to a max test is building the intensity up bit by bit ... if you go too hard too early, then you get too knackered to reach max. This is why races are so good for a max test ... too long at high intensity, so nothing more to "give" at the end. A progressive session that builds the HR up bit by bit and ends with a sprint up a nasty hill shoudl do the trick.

Back in college I had workouts with teammates that allowed me to reach maxhr levels. Only we didn't wear hr monitors

Hi All. Having had my Garmin 405 for over a year thought it was about time to dust down the HR strap and give it a go this morning. Up til now I've always just used my mile pace while out on runs. So a few questions for you clever people, if you don't mind....
1) Today was a easy run, 5m, 9mm - avg HR was 70% - is that about right?
2) Avg bpm was 145 - my resting is 52 and I put in max as 183 (220 - 37) - about right?
3) something kept popping up about HR zones, I think it varied between 2 and 4. Garmin upload here on fetch says undefined. Am I meant to load up something with my zones?
Any guidance very much appreciated!
cheers
