First off, thanks to everyone for the feedback. I appreciate it.

@John_Koch

Have you actually hit a max HR of 185 cycling? If you’re riding near FTP and it doesn’t feel very hard and your HR is relatively low, then I’m guessing your FTP is set too low.

Below is my FTP ramp test results, and my HR hit 178.

I recently did some intervals and my HR maxed out at 182:

Per AlphaDogCycling I think I’ll try the 20 minute ramp test in the next few weeks and see what I get it. The high end of zone 2 (~150 watts) feels quite easy.
