1 Half and 2 full marathons in the books for me. 1:43 min on the half and 3hr 41min for the full (ran the second marathon with the wife at her pace). Just when I was about to be ready to run again after this past marathon in November, I slipped down some stairs and tore my left meniscus. I'm getting surgery Thursday and hope to be back out running in March!
Same here. Anything at 150 or above for me and I'm in the aerobic zone and really pushing.For a strenuous run I try to keep mine around 150 BPM and I'm 39. Then again, with all that I run my resting HR is like 50.
That explains it. You will get a more accurate reading with a chest strap. The handles get you close, but I believe tend to almost always read higher than what you are really at. Plus, depending on the model of your HR monitor, you should be able to enter in some basic personal data (i.e. height, weight, age, etc.) so that it can really narrow in on your target zone.I was reading it using the treadmill handles. I'll have to find my HR monitor to see where I'm really at.
they've been aorund for years called tennis dresses.Okay, I definitely need to start running again. Just found out there's such a thing as kilts for running.

Thanks for the recommendation! I have a FitBit One myself, but don't know where it is. I got depressed with it thanks to sitting at a desk all day while at my job. It also couldn't figure out my bike commuting, though I can't really remember what it did incorrectly any more.My wife has a Fitbit Charge HR2. It will connect to your phone via bluetooth, use your phone's GPS for running workout distances as well as a few other things. I'd get one myself if I didn't already have a Fitbit One.
My wife just bought it at Costco. It came with 2 wristbands.
Congrats on making it to the track before work!
The Samsung Gear Fit 2 has it's own dedicated GPS in addition to 4GB of internal storage space so that you can basically just use that without the need to have it connected to your phone. It's also is pretty good at "auto-detecting" what type of activity you're doing such that you don't have to hit start or whatever. :thumbs:My wife has a Fitbit Charge HR2.

Were you being chased?yesterday I went and ran, I didn't even use a normal watch or bring music. I wonder if that still even counts as running anymore?
