Strong information, wasn't the fax that turned the screws on Hamilton also talking about a insulin injection as part of the complete program.
A copy of that fax should be brought back to the thread.
Guy was a total bad a$$, didn't he loose his front teeth in a crash, going for glory, and still finish the stage. Only to try again days later, and have his chain snap?
I agree, as an elite runner and cyclist, running will give you a higher number with a lower RPE (rate of perceeved excertion 1 -10 some go to 20). On a bike I would max out at 218bpm, for less than 30 seconds RPE 10. And I could hold 218 for 20 minutes running RPE first leg of run bike...
