Fine for me on mobile. Could be that Chris"s giant link was throwing something off. Should be on a new page now :-)

Might be browser specific.

It always happens (on my desktop / browser combo) when there is a mega long text string (e.g. v. long link) with no space/ breaks in it.

Does anyone experience quite a long lag (I'm Garmin Vivoactive 3 with optical HRM) in HR figures e.g. intervals, or sets of non-running, or a standing break in a longer run. Or even a harder uphill, vs easy recovery section on a run?

I want to see if my HR is settling back after a bit of effort. If it comes straight back but HRM is taking ages to show the figures, that's a bit useless. Is it just the software trying to smooth the data? Or is it inherent in optical HRM? Can I set "refresh rate" or something for it to show more "real time"?

Thanks, :-) G

it WAS on desk top...but this morning it's suddenly become ok again! Thanks for input folks.
I'm struggling with effort/HR and pace right now. Looking to having a week long break at the end of the month --thinking I'm tired in some way but can't really be because of miles (only do 25 a week) so it must be mental!

I recall, and what everyone knows, that recovery within five minutes to normal heart rate is also and indication of a healthy heart or at least shows that you haven't overcooked a run. But..I also recall in my racing days that if I'd run my guts out then my HR would be elevated for several hours afterwards--and I used to feel awful!

Recovery from an effort is often a better indication of fitness than doing the session

That's why I'm just doing the recovery bit :)

What I've read (and matches the Garmin approach) is to look at HR recovery 2 minutes after activity. I've read / heard that monitoring the recovery from a moderate level of exertion is a good way of keeping track - something which puts you into 60-80% max for a short period of time. And then monitor the difference between when you stop and 2 minutes later.

Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

Gobi lurks here, but for his advice you must first speak his name. Ask and you shall receive.

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
