Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Yes mate, but thanks for asking.

I'll wager that tomorrow my HR strap will behave itself just because it would be handy to show you the nonsense it produces.

I get *slightly* less nonsense numbers from my (wrist) Garmin Vivosmart HR. The numbers I get from my (wrist) Fitbit Charge seem realistic - and I can merge them onto an activity on TP after the event (but not to Fetch). I can't reasonably look at them on the move though so on 'misbehaving HR readings' days I have to train to RPE.

I spoke to the quack about this when I had my 'well man' checkup on Wednesday. She reckons it's a Garmin issue rather than 'my heart doing funny arrhythmic things and causing the Garmin to mis-read' issue.

Couple of hours Zwift last night, Z2 with 30 mins sweetspot + some rather pathetic sprints.

Swim this morning 2.6k. Easy Friday so lunchtime vanity and that's it.

Aye. Then I washed the old one and it worked for a while - they both seem intermittent. I wore the same one Tuesday and Thursday this week - it was fine on Tuesday.

Moaning.

TYri-club run session was cancelled this morning so a quick trip to the pool was in order.

I ran out of porridge oats so I ~had~ to go to the cafe and get a bacon sarnie.

With an extra sausage of course. In accordance with prophecy.

Can't blame the strap if you don't follow instructions Grep :-p.

I presume you at least follow the instruction about wetting the three points on the strap?
