Message: [QUOTE="fatcat216, post: 1301459, member: 82767"] hmmm. Let's see a forum for gearheads??....I'm guessing you'll get a few yeses. :laugh: I used them when I was running competitively and briefly when I switched to triathlon. I'll be expecting Badgerman and Sweeprider aka Mrs.Badgerman to stop by and offer some advice to you. They can be fun for motivation/ a great tool for keeping yourself honest/ and extremely useful to prevent overtraining. I could tell you some funny stories about powerlines, stoplights, and spinning classes where your monitor picks up someone else's monitor. Keep in mind that you can get some interesting interference from other electrical sources. Incidentally, how does your monitor define "resting heart rate". 85 is quite high by some training definitions. If you'd like, I can recommend some books/websites on heart rate based training.
