JRitchie Apr 2018 10:03pm, 8 Apr 2018 1,376 posts	0 JRitchie I've learned something new today ... and Splanchnik shunt is my new favourite word. Received a HR monitor from my brother many years back for Xmas and it would ping as being over the planned threshold before settling down and I couldn't understand it.
struthious Apr 2018 12:10am, 9 Apr 2018 1,039 posts	0 struthious Thanks for the splanchnic shunt post LD. I'd always assumed it was my glaucoma eyedrops which can give me mild asthma symptoms occasionally. Now a few of us are shunting here and there's probably a fat controller in the mix somewhere.
phidip Apr 2018 8:55am, 9 Apr 2018 102 posts	0 phidip Thanks LD for the links. I get that too, the little I've paid attn to my HRM. Mine has the wrist sensor so thought the results may not be reliable.
Velociraptor Apr 2018 9:26am, 9 Apr 2018 38,075 posts	0 Velociraptor I'm fairly sure that's what's happening with me when it takes a couple of miles for my breathing to stabilise during a race (though rarely on training runs because I rarely run hard in training). Yesterday I went from, "Crikey, I'm going to become an apparently-healthy-runner cardiac death statistic," to being able to talk in sentences without hauling back the effort level.
