My wife's singular inability to run at pace uphill could do with being helped out with that book ![]() On a more generalised note, I find it very interesting how different activities spark different HRs for me. I ran a 20m at avg 136 at the weekend and arrived home feeling (relatively) fresh. An hour on Zwift last night however averaging 125 and I felt knackered. Clearly down to muscular strength / adaption too as I'm not a regular cyclist. (And then my wife encouraged me (and my kids and her) to a challenge of running up and down the 24 stairs in our house for 15 minutes and I maxed out at 175bpm, which is only a few beats off my max. I suppose the steps maxxing out HR isn't hugely surprising, but I didn't feel like I was at max compared to when I tried a maxHR test running about 8-10 months ago where I was at vomit stage by then). |

New Polar optical strap out, ie an upgrade to the popular OH1 DCR review dcrainmaker.com He likes it !. One thing I didn't realise is that there is normally more of a lag with optical units than with chest straps when doing intervals on the bike, compared to run intervals :- "most optical HR sensors look at running cadence via the accelerometer as a supporting factor for figuring out intensity shifts. So in this case, it sees my cadence naturally increase as I increase intensity, allowing the algorithm to consider that a valid increase faster than on the bike, where it doesn’t have extra data" |

Thanks for the link Gus. I have been toying with the OH1 based on reviews as well as Larks being happy ![]() Still haven't took the plunge but this will very likely be my next running purchase. |

See the original OH1 is about for £50 now. Will probably take the plunge on the new one but the reduced price on the original is making me think!! |
