I have a timex but same ANT+ technology as the Garmin. Not a soft strap though. Its annoying as I like the stats. My HR graph from recent runs is just a bunch of spikes and dips. Getting to the point that I might as well not wear it.
Will try another battery and washing the elastic strap, it worked fine for months

SPR - have you tried resynching the HR strap with the watch? I had to resynch my HR strap with my Garmin when I changed the battery so before you splash out money on more batteries it may be worthwhile giving that a go.

Nice hilly 6 mile race today, my HR averaged 85% and I was very close to my recorded max at the end! Think you could say I tried hard

Just read the instructions and does indeed say re-sync (pair) after a battery change :-o, done that now, hopefully that fixes all the issues. Might have been reading the HRM of all the runners training for the Birmingham Half Marathon ;-).

>> My easy runs are usually at 127 bpm, which for me is at 70% maxHR and 61% wHR... probably about 8:30/m.
... which translated into a 6:21/m 5K at 90% wHR on Saturday.

Dr. Dan,
If my calculatations are correct then you were going at 168bpm for the 5km and a MHR of 93%??
How does this show that heartrate training help with the result??
