HRM Update

This thing is tough as nails to figure out. I have most of testing done, now its just a matter of getting it all to work as a unit and uploading it. I purchased the IR unit for USB transfer and that really seems to be the most difficult part. You would think that there would be a wide spectrum of area to upload from but apparently there is a specific area of 15 degrees for optimum transfer.

What I thought would be a simple process has taken two and a half hours and my swim workout away from me. Well I suppose its progress.

I need to take the tests over a period of two weeks, three times per week. That will help establish my caloric expenditure index, pace, resting hr, max hr and submax VO2. Its a journey.

Till tomorrow my friends...

Hey will you post an info on how to find max HR without using the 220-age equation. My HR is generally 165-170 when I run and my max is 183 by age.
