maxewii--- I think you got the numbers alittle bit wrong. You have set your maximum heartrate a little bit low. Having said that, it doesn't take away all the effort you put in to this video.

@gabbu1984 you don't "set your maximum heart rate"...Polar - the watch computer, calculates it based on the personal data you input, such as age, gender, activity level, & a baseline resting heart rate test it performs first thing in the morning while you're lying down.

Well - 100% is relative to what you set your max pulse to on your watch.

So your 100% does not prove anything.

I dont have a pulsemessure, but i DO hillinterval - i dont need a pulse watch to tell me when im maxed out.

WRONG: the Polar Heart Rate monitor calculates my Maximum Heart Rate based on age, gender, fitness leve, & VO2-Maximum, so I am max'd out relative to my own maximum heart rate...please do your research.

[maxewiii]

of course you don't need a H.R. monitor, but how accurate & precise would you like to be? A H.R. monitor also calculates calories burned & lets you know when you've 'recovered' during the non-working part of the interval. Have fun taking your pulse though!

Thanks Max for the great video. HIIT is an awesome way to train that is time efficient! I think everyone can benefit from that

[maxewiii]

HIIT has the greateste exercise VALUE!

@aab163 true, you dont need a heart rate monitor unless you really want to know what heart rate you have at max!!

And anybody knows when they have maxed its common sense! bloody yanks....lol

[xoMALxoPINEAUxo]

[jreacher79]

Where's the dog's HRM? :P

Great video, the hill looks like a killer!

@maxewiii Great vid, looks like you need to raise your MHR on your polar. Someone with your fitness should be passing out at 100% at the end of your interval.

Whew... just ran as fast as I could around my neighborhood.. at night! Gotta go do that stuff whenever you have energy. That's my motto.
