  1. Guys I bought a Giant Heart Rate Monitor a while ago when I was doing PainCave. I don't have a bike computer as it wasn't needed. The monitor synced with the computer at PainCave. Since then I no longer do PainCave but would like to know which app can be used to track my HR. I have tried the Giant app but it doesn't seem to have the function required. I would really appreciate any help!
  2. Does anyone have some real world data about heart rate measured by wrist, arm and chest straps? Is the variance significant between the three methods? I have read numerous posts on the topic and all suggest that chest is most accurate followed by arm and then wrist but numbers are lacking the posts. What I am trying to find out is if the measurements from any of these are way better than the other or is it safe to assume that with the "latest" technologies the measurements are fairly accurate and reliable. Thanks in advance.
  3. The common complaint I hear from anyone new to heart rate monitors is the discomfort of the chest strap. Although I have found that with time and moving to higher-end devices the chest straps have become more comfortable, they are still a bit of a pain. The Mio Velo is a wrist-based heart rate band which uses an optical sensor to read your heart rate and packs in some handy Bluetooth-ANT+ features to boot. Click here to view the article
  4. To reach your fitness goals and maintain them, you need to train smarter, not harder and this can be achieved by understanding your heart. Your “maximum heart rate” is the maximum number of times your heart beats in one minute. To calculate an average reading of your max heart rate, take the number 220 for men or 226 for women and minus your age. For Example 226 – 30 = 196; a 30 year old woman’s max heart rate is 196 beats per minute. Click here to view the article

  6. Hi to all the Hubbers out there! Ever since I've started working from home December 2013 I have more time for training but I dont know if I'm doing the right kind of training.. I normally ride my MTB 5 times a week (or I'm trying to). Distances from 20km - 80km. The shorter distances I tend to ride fullgas and the longer rides at a much easier pace. After my 4th ride in a week my body is "eina" ....from shoulders to hands and my legs is burning. This might also be incorrect bike setup, but according to my local bike shop everything is fine. When it comes to HR I use the formula 220 - Age to get my maximum HR, this cant be correct so Im looking for someone in Cape Town (Northern Suberbs) to help me with correct bike setup, correct training plan, nutrition help and HR zone help????? I would like to hear your thoughts and plz help if you can. Cheers
  7. Hi all, I have recently picked up a spiking Heart rate on my Garmin in excess of 230bpm as soon as my speed exceeds about 20km/h. The guys at Garmin guess that it's the static on my clothes. My question is then when layering in winter what do you guys use that does not cause a static issue? Thanks
