I had to promise my wife that if I got to certain points I'd dial it back. <BR/><BR/>After a while, you'll get to where you'll know your heart rate within a few beats, based on your breathing, how you feel about your current effort, and state of mind. Now I don't wear it much.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344942018241543672.post-66619886660370534152009-03-19T10:46:00.000-05:002009-03-19T10:46:00.000-05:00I just started using a HRM and one thing I know fo...I just started using a HRM and one thing I know for sure is that my heart rate is naturally higher than others, so I have to take that in consideration. I will use it just as a guide for myslef. My main goal is to recover faster over time, so I can only use my own data to determine that.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06269493667519186968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344942018241543672.post-38456316594179849562009-03-18T18:45:00.000-05:002009-03-18T18:45:00.000-05:00St Paddy's for me meant going to see Witch Mountai...St Paddy's for me meant going to see Witch Mountain.FLATOUT JIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629083282268609213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344942018241543672.post-2790249427733170612009-03-18T17:53:00.000-05:002009-03-18T17:53:00.000-05:00I agree with Missy.

Use it regularly and record your averages and max, and use it to compare with past runs as benchmarks. <BR/><BR/>That is at least how i've used it and have found it pretty helpful.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07927756501076501540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344942018241543672.post-30599831244814763702009-03-18T13:30:00.000-05:002009-03-18T13:30:00.000-05:00OMG, I want you to get married on St. Patrick's Da...OMG, I want you to get married on St. Patrick's Day. And wear green shoes or something.<BR/><BR/>It's been so nice here this week too, sucks being an adult and working. <BR/><BR/>So, I wear a heart rate monitor and would be more than happy to explain the pros and cons of wearing one over a glass on wine (or 6) in NO.

So good to learn to 'train low' but I got paralyzed by the fact I thought my heart was going to explode. When I saw 190+ on my HRM, I freaked.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398496906384738920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344942018241543672.post-64779535962529595252009-03-18T09:10:00.000-05:002009-03-18T09:10:00.000-05:00DON'T GO BACK!!!

I was glad to be unemployed and able to take advantage of the day :)<BR/><BR/>Polar makes quality HR monitors, a good basic one for women is the F4 (less than $100).
