I have read on several websites that my maximum heart rate for my age of 50 should be 172 BPM. Well, today I hit 189 climbing a really nasty hill. At 189 I was able to continue peddling without failing. A year ago I would fail if I hit 163. Now, 163 is my average heart rate on fast paced group rides.
My question: Should I be concerned that I am exceeding my recommended heart rate?
