I've put 3 but its quite variable. I'm still carrying around nearly 2 stone of excess lard and I've never found out what my max is so I let Garmin do the figures based on the info I provided. According to that I spend around 25% (again a very rough estimate) of my ride time in the red zone (160+bpm). Not sure what it all means though

I knew my theoretical max, and I could ping my heart rate up towards it easily and used to do so pretty much every ride - not constantly but at some point or another on the ride. How that theoretical max equated to my actual max though I don't know. I never felt ill or that I was overdoing it.
I'll have a look over my x years of ride logs and come up with an average, it'd be quite interesting for me to know.

Have you tried another monitor?
When I thought my HRM was faulty it turned out to be my heart, not the monitor.
