I just start easy and so HR starts low.

Obviously that refers to training. For races, warm up is a must.

You missed the point SPR. The true HR is actually low, but an erroneous reading gives a higher HR for about a mile.

Baz - I'm referring to splanchnic shunt which was discussed after rather than erroneous readings. What I'm saying is if you start easy, there's not a sudden high demand on your heart, so likely the overshoot to deal with start of activity will be less.

I never get excessively high HR readings in the first mile when I neglect to warm up and find it very tough going - the opposite, in fact. I feel that my heart rate is remaining lower than it should be, and I have conjectured that this might mean I'm tending to run into oxygen debt. If I warm up properly beforehand (and simply running a couple of miles at an easy pace does this fine, without the need for any strides or anything), my HR climbs much more quickly up to the typical HR I will have in the latter stages of the race.
I don't know whether there is any medical basis for this conjecture - one might assume that the heart will successfully pump out whatever blood is required for the effort level. But I wonder whether it's reasonable to see the heart itself as a muscle which needs to be warmed up before it operates at peak efficiency, and maybe it gets more sluggish at doing so as we get older?

Thanks all... It was relatively easy pace and seems odd it’s just started as getting colder.
Will keep an eye

Prefer the older device where you could replace the strap.

Yes, definitely wouldn't want an HRM where you couldn't replace the strap. I tend to think of HRM straps in the same way as you would tyres on a car, items with a limited lifespan which need replacing from time to time.
