I have my VO2Max at 46( I am 48 YRS OLD) Resting heart rate 48 BPM. So you can say I am fit right? I just completed a 80km MTB race. Quite a tuff one. I rode for 3hours 26min at an average heart rate of 164 BPM! My Max is 176 BPM. I never felt good from beginning to end. Most of the guys in my age group beat me. Any advice??
