So is it quite different technology to the optical wrist hrm sensor then?

Similar technology I guess but without the data analysis of changes in absorption that quantifies SP02 (saturated pressure of oxygen) what tomtom HR monitors detect is a simple colour difference that can be expressed as a wave. still pretty clever though

Is there a correlation between HR/pace at different intensities. In other words, if you know your pace at 77%MHR could you work out your likely pace at 83%MHR.

I'd say yes, SSLHP (just calling you "Horse Piss" seemed a bit rude ;-)).

Or rather, I'd say that using WHR rather than MHR, I had a pretty predictable linear relationship.

Good point about WHR Dvorak.

About This Thread

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
