They’re more reliable overall… there might be something else that’s happening with the wrist. If you tried something like a Polar you could run HRV logger, which may be able to give you some more detailed and helpful insight. I’d also ask in some advanced running/tri forums to see if anyone has had a similar experience. Last, I wouldn’t rule out checking with a cardiologist. It’s likely overkill, but I don’t know… that’s just odd enough where that might be worth asking the question. Like for example, if that were a cardio stress test for a normal (non-athlete) person, this is exactly what they’d be looking for, just at a much lower speed.

Thanks...Anon, there could be some good info there! Thanks! <br /><br />And yeah Kris, I've questioned the wrist measurement too - when I first saw my heart rate spiking once, I thought it was picking up my footstrikes or something (but then I learned it wasn't as those are 2 very different numbers). It might not be spot on, but it's showing a peak that shouldn't be there!Steve Stenzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11419298404210612118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29677084.post-34780411117877049592022-05-11T15:59:09.287-05:002022-05-11T15:59:09.287-05:00I am not sure how accurate your heart rate is usin...I am not sure how accurate your heart rate is using a wrist measurement. I've had success using the 80/20 running (book) training plans and chest heart rate measurement. But I also have had issues going out too hard when racing.
