I've never understood your HR data to be honest. Have you always used the same monitor/strap? I have a Garmin strap that consistantly adds 40bpm to whatever my real HR is.
If it is accurate, I'd live to see you do a max hr test.

I've always used the same unit/monitor, but had a few straps.
My HR seems to read ok when I'm on the road, but not a tall on the turbo. Also, it seems to be way more accurate when I'm mega sweaty and riding outside (even though I'm super sweaty on the turbo). I always pre-wet the strap and my sternum before putting it on.
I do have a low resting HR though (40-45bpm)

Yeh, 4.6 is great!
I hate winter. Always inevitably lose form. I find that whatever I do on the Turbo, it's just not the same as being outdoors.
And I really struggle to get my heart rate up on a turbo, even if my legs are screaming at me. Does anyone else find this?
