Interesting info reading all this and has got me thinking. I got a HRM about 25 years ago found it useful but being younger lighter fitter I had plenty of go anyway. Now I find myself shattered at the end of a week just doing short commutes. I'm 51 and about a stone overweight and trying to increase mileage and fitness. Thinking about it I tend to go as fast as I can and sometimes there's also strong headwinds. Also tend to go for it on off road climbs, noticed that when I'm out with the wife who hates climbs and I go a lot slower I'm a lot fresher. Think I'm overdoing It, maybe time to get a HRM on again and slow things down so I'm not so shattered, but think that will take a bit of discipline. I'm sure on some of my rides I'll be hitting max for 10 to 15mins on a few climbs, how do I avoid that otherwise I might be walking.
