I'm about ready to throw out my own HRM to protest the stupidity of this much discussion being applied to this particular case.

Then this thread has been a success!

I don't put a lot of stock in those things either...my high school coach put one on me one day at practice and during a 7 mile run when I was pushing the pace only a little my pulse went up way over 200 - like 206, 207. The thing started beeping and being annoying so I had to take it off. It did catch the resting heart rate within a couple beats. I would think if my pulse was actually 207 I would have had cardiac arrest during any race when I was going all out. Then again, my treadmill tells me I only go no higher than 80 beats per minute no matter how fast I go Big grin

Here's an idea. When your heart rate shoots up, stop and take your pulse for 15 seconds. That will prove its the hrm. The idea that your heart-rate jumps to near max at the beginning of a run is ridiculous.
