Description:

Also a request,
Could you add the option to choose max HR to be calculated on 220 age.
You have made this app to support a garmin device.
The standard that garmin devices (of which there are many) use to calculate Max HR is 220 - age.
(There %HR Zones are then based on this figure.)

Male: 202 - 0.55 * age May give a better estimate of max hr.
But it seems to be introducing another variable (and possible confusion or may make make the data less valid) using 2 different formulas to calculate the one variable - being max HR (and the corresponding % hr zones)

ex 47 yr male

gamin max hr | 220-47 = 173
hRecovery max hr | 202 - (.55*47) = 176
