@madferret the only time I know that someone has taken my blood pressure they weren't able to find anything...they decided to wait until I got to the hospital. That filled me with confidence

When I sorted out my HR zones few days ago (never really taken my resting HR before) I left the HR monitor on while I chilled in front of the pc, made a cuppa, chilled some more, and when I looked at my Garmin's HR screen it said 60bpm!

I will give it a go.......at some point! Need to find my true resting HR, it was about 80 I think but within seconds (as soon as I thought about it) it shot up to 100, that was sitting still. So I never put it on again......
Just check your pulse and count the beats for 15 seconds in the morning as soon as you wake up and before you get out of bed. Multiply by 4 and you have it.

I think I'm nearly dead.........if I'm totally relaxed it often drops to the high 30,s
Rained all night here. Off now but the roads will have a lot of surface water I think. Quite fancy a day off anyway so I'm just sitting here browsing and eating my porridge.
Doggy walk soon.

Just tried this and it was 52, though after rigourius exercise if i sit for 2 min my heart steadies itself to around 62-65 BPM

I haven't really checked mine recently when I wake up. I just check it when I am sitting around relaxed. Mine is around 60 now. I could get it to the high 30s when I was taking beta blockers. I would get dizzy when I stood up sometimes. Was happy to get off them. I can also now get my heart rate much higher when I ride.

Did you drink the cuppa before you checked your HR? If so, it may have been even lower as caffeine raises your HR.
I keep meaning to work out my max HR, however, all the ways I've read of finding out what it is, makes it sound like you need to enter a world of pain.

I know a couple of you were interested in seeing a pic of the Rapha Rising Challenge Badge. Got it in the post just now with a little certificate. Badge is about a couple of inches in diameter so might look quite nice sewn on to a cycling jersey since I worked so hard for it!

@Mo1959
Really well done again, I think we are all in awe of your achievement, so please never underestimate your achievements. There arn't to many on here get such an accolade.
Back to strava, I have just done a 25 miles my avg to two decimals was 15.97 on the comp it said 16 as it would being corrected properly, I reckon before I put it on strava it will show 15.9mph
