Just got my HRM and tried it on my ride today...
170 BPM Max
155 Average
"own zone" moderate setting range 136-158 BPM
Time in zone 33 minutes
Total Exercise time 63 minutes
Calories burned 1041
Granted the climb for me is intense for 2.75 miles...no flats, no downs...just up, up, up. It's a bit much for me right now and I had to walk .10 miles of it(the first time riding this trail was saturday and I walked about half mile and stopped for about 15 minutes of rest) but I didnt stop to break other then to put my helmet on at the top (30 seconds at most stop and I was still in my BPM range)...how are the above numbers for 330lb 25 year old guy?
It seemed when I was out of the range it was just a wee bit like 160bpm...it jumped to 170 when a guy was catching me and I didnt want to get passed.
Im new to the HRM so any info on my stats is appreciated.
Also how long does it take to get back to a normal heart rate...the drive home from the trail which is about 10-15 minutes and it was still around 105BPM...when I put it on before the ride I was at 74 BPM.
