  • I think Max HR for running is meant to be higher than for cycling, mainly because you are using more muscle groups.

  • I have zero physiology / anatomy knowledge to back this up, but isn't there a literal pumping effect from running?

    My highest HR (which must have been 8 / 9 years ago) was 195, running fast down a very steep hill at a very high cadence.

    At the time, my highest was usually 185ish, in the back of speed sessions and hill sprints.

    Nowadays I have no idea, as I can't hit max effort without aggravating injuries.
