The Garmin probably uses percentage of max heart rate.
Just use the BPM that you know is the right one and ignore the zone thingy as IanRunner says.
Lucky, have you done a proper max HR test? The calculations is useless for most people...

Just read through this thread from today, ha ha, really good stuff.
I went for a 68% 5 miles last night, which somehow has resulted in me hobbling around today with an ITB problem.

Just checked you are right it is percentage of heart rate doh!!!
Yes did it properly on a treadmill directed by a cycling geak. Hit almost the same figure (within 2) in a recent race where I pushed myself to the limit so trust it is right.
I will do the MHR test again at the weekend.

Boingy, whatever you do before jumping down hole, don't try to run through ITB (if your sure that's what it is), I had ITB in a bad way which was caused by my running with locked back and seized hips. Once they got unlocked hey presto I was fine once inflammation in ITB went. Now as to what caused locked hips, I suspect a tight hamstring which I ignored, and the tight hamstring well probably poor mechanics which I have addressed.
Time will tell...........

Mike, no, there's no chance of me running through it at the mo. Going to give it some time to settle down. Will be back to 70% runs once I'm happy. Very frustrating though, the 70% runs are meant to be the easy ones, not the ones that injure me !! My hamstrings were quite tight now you come to mention it, and legs were still a bit tired after half marathon on Sunday. Lesson learned.

I think you've answered your own question there Boingy - step away from the X!
