There was an article in the Metro today about hospitals using an app on patients phone and taking the heart data. It named the app but didn't mention what HR detection (presumably Apple Watch for iPhone and various for Android?)  G

G, if it is the same story I read in the Times, it is a device that has its own pads to pick up heart rate.

I just googled and some results from Nov 2018 last year (Kardia something or other) had its own pads. The article in Metro implied they were using data from patients' own devices. Hmm? G

Interesting HR experience today. I ran a local half marathon, and because I was very badly slept and suffering from a persistent migraine-related nausea, it was a pretty grim experience, with no chance of getting the sub-1:20 I am desperate for, especially on a pretty undulating course. But I ran 1:21:08, which is decent enough for me under the circumstances. I was amazed to see my average HR for the race was 152, with a max of 156. Now, I've run a half marathon with an average HR of 165 before (it was a hot day). Normally a fast HR would mean something like 160-162 average for me. So today's HR seems bizarrely low. Definitely some kind of 'central governor' action there, my brain telling my tired body not to push it too hard by making a relatively low HR feel like flat-out. I would like to think that there's something else at work there, too, my heart working more effectively, indicative of good cardiovascular fitness, but I can't be sure of that. Another factor was that it was quite cold out there, about 8-9C and raining lightly, and I was just wearing vest and shorts (and most welcome gloves). Still, a puzzle. |

Air temperature makes a hell of a difference. A couple of summers ago, on the hottest day, we were reduced to walking in a marathon and still had HR pushing towards max (the vast excess of alcohol the day before probably didn't help either). I've got a vague figure in the back of my head of 2 -3 bpm per degree. |

Dew point is significant too, apparently

Yes, quite happy to accept that temperature was a big part of it, thinking about it. That was probably as cold as it could get before it started to be a problem. That is, I felt at a pretty well perfect running temperature after the first couple of miles.

Interesting on dew point, I've always struggled in humid conditions, any pointers for figures?
