Still using KKRM. I don't see a reason to upgrade now until I get results from my stress test. My heart rate is consistently above the 220-65 = 155max heart rate so I told doctor about this and am scheduled for the test. I can maintain a rate of 160-170 bpm the entire time I'm on zwift and feel fine. So until the test I'm backing off and riding with my heart rate in 140/150 range. No sense in spending the money until I know if I can push it a little harder and use the benefit of the increased intensity a smart trainer would provide.

Max HR = 220 - age is a garbage formula.

(also 220-age is garbage)
