I've just done my evening commute. I always wear a heart monitor when I'm riding or running (Garmin 305 since you ask), because I'm training for a big thing in July and I'm logging everything I do in preparation for it.
Plus I'm a total geek who likes shiny stuff with buttons on.
Anyway,
Grays Inn Road was a bit busy just now, so I had to do a bit of ducking and weaving to get through. I looked down at the Garmin on my wrist and it was peaking at 130% of maximum heart rate. As a precaution I took it pretty easy on the rest of the way home, and I probably wont do my 90 minute run this evening. I feel totally ok though, and by the time I got home at snail pace it was back down to between 50 and 55%.
Should I be worried, or is the Garmin just playing silly buggers?
