If this happens at the beginning of your ride, its probably an indication that you need to wet your terminals on the belt, so they make good contact with your chest. :thumbup:

I had a sustained HR of 226 last week for around 20 mins...had to ride home and lie down on the couch before it would go away...but I know it was an arrhythmia. I can feel when it happens..so if you weren't feeling funny then you should be fine

Hope you had checked out.. Very often quick fix. My X had same thing, was 15 min or something operation (burned one of the nerves or something to the heart) and never issue again.

I have had it checked, and yes they reckon an ablation would fix it. I have what's known as a secondary atrial pacemaker. But it happens so rarely it's almost not worth the effort

Clearly I'm dong something wrong then.

 

My highest heartrate for the year was the Argus. Average 143bpm and maximum of 167bpm. I need to push myself a little harder.

If you're 68 years old, that's one blerrie good effort

I'd like to hear more about the 'diesel engine' vs 'petrol engine' debate.

My max seems to be around 198. I checked all the past few months Strava segments and compared to my Polar RCX5 stats to see where I maxed out - always around 198 - so I'm quite sure about this number. Thing is I'm 40 next month. Comparing my max HR with others' they run around 170 - 160, few years younger than myself. So, do some of us run on petrol engines and others on diesel and what are the benefits, if any, of a petrol engine?

My polar also spikes from time to time but you'll know when its a faulty reading and if not. Going over 200 bpm - you feel like dying.

PS: got my booking to have the clock checked out so I can keep on beating a few youngsters.
