Hello all.
I used a cheap HRM from Argos and occasionaly my HR would get up to 218. I mentioned this to a couple of guys who are super fit and they suggested that I was making a mistake and getting the readings wrong. (in a piss taking kind of a way)
So I decided that the HRM must just be rubbish and I kind of stopped using it. Recently I got a Polar CS200 and after my ride home last night it registered as 208 Max HR. Since I've been training hard for 6-7 months I can see how I may be able to drop 10 bpm from my max HR due to getting fitter but when I look at it: 208 still seems pretty high. Im 31 this year and for the first time I'm starting to think about my heart and any undue stresses I may be putting on it. I have loads of questions in my head but I would just like a little bit of info if possible. Should I see a doctor? It is ok? Am I being paraniod?
