Did my first run ever with a heart rate monitor, kindly on loan from a Suunto guy Terho. What did I learn? After warming up I was doing about 4.00\/km speed at around 140 rates. In slight uphill the rate went up to 150, and in slight downhill I had maybe 135. After the 10K run I cooled down a few secs for the rate to reach 100. Then a 100m sprint uphill at 2.50\/km pace, and the monitor gives me 155. Ok. I don’t have any idea what these numbers mean, but I am now considering — in the long term — into buying one. Maybe from the States, where they are much cheaper than here.<\/p>\n
Did some Google research and if I want to play with data the only thing I can even consider is Garmin Forerunner 405.<\/a> There are two major Finnish gadget firms, Suunto and Polar, but they do not apparently understand anything about open data and Mac compatibility. I’m only wondering should I talk to them or a start a competing firm?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Did my first run ever with a heart rate monitor, kindly on loan from a Suunto guy Terho.
