Does any one do max heart rate training anymore? I don't think that the 26 year old Coach realizes there is a difference between 220-26= her max hr and 220-50= mine. I am not sure I would recognize heart palpitations with some of the short interval work we get.

Yes, I train daily with a Polar HR monitor. I'm 49, so my max HR should be 171 according to the prevailing calculation below.
When I do reach my max, it's consistently at around 190 and that's usually when I'm doing overload endurance or longer race pace training sets.
So, I'd be wary of using the calculated estimate. Nonetheless, you aren't likely going to reach the HR levels of a 26 year-old.
