Thought I should test to see what my real max heart rate might be and adjust my Whoop accordingly.

4 rounds of 2 minutes on, 1 minute rest

  • Row @ max effort

Results: Got up to 169 which was not what I expected since I hit 177 earlier in the week when running some hills. Not a test I want to repeat again soon! Side note… on my second round finished 500m in 1:46.
