I wish I had used your calculation, because the interval training nearly made me puke with the numbers I was given. Using your numbers, I could have had a beer.

I'm not sure if you typed this not having read burger's post where he mentions that an athletic person would need to adjust the numbers, or whether you were trying to impress people into making the leap to assuming you must be athletic.
The problem with either interpretation is that he then makes the statement that anyone who is athletic isn't needing instruction on how to calculate a target heart rate. Another problem is that intervals are, by definition, intended to take one beyond what should be a steady state heart rate, ie you should spike high during intervals.
So what I take from your post is that you are athletic, on the internet.
