Heart rate Resting and Heart Rate going up a bloody big Hill ???

[maltloaf]

I'm 41 and max hr here is 188, resting is about 60. Recovery rate from max to normal got faster the fitter I got.

30 years old, cycling five years
Resting ~ 50bpm
Max effort ~ 195bpm (plus feeling like I'm gonna die)

Typical values (off t'interweb)
Resting 60-80
Max effort 220-age

So everyone posting here seems to be ahead of the game!

I'd love to get a HR monitor. Ideally something I could wear all day (whether cycling/working/wandering round/weights etc) just to see how the heartrate changes with different activities. After this I'd want to see graphs and data on the computer with a decent amount of analysis comparing days and the like. Anything like this exist?

I seem to have Resting Heart Rate Envy

Mine is 58, despite doing thousands of very hilly miles every year. Maybe I need to try a bit harder

I did a cycling specific first aid course last year. When we were taking pulse readings lying on the floor, everybody was below 55!
