You could also get some yoga or stretching routines, or some rollers. For me, I'd rather be on the road.

It will also make you feel better afterwards if you do a decent cool down ride, basically spin the legs for 15 minutes after you finish your session (E1 down to RE heart rate, small chainring for most of it probably)

Throw away the gadgets and stats and just go ride for 30 mins or so before you do anything serious in the way of intensity/repeats or climbing. If you don't have an hour to spare you're probably doing more harm than good, physically and mentally.... in my opinion..... doing such intense stuff from the get-go.

FWIW I'm a reasonably fit person, it's just that my body has to get used to the idea of moving before peddling hard.

I use the same strap for jogging and that doesn't give any problems with that.
Below shows a graph generated by Endomondo & my Garmin Edge 500 from my last ride. Around Lake Illawarra for anyone who knows that area.

Edit: although starting at 0bpm is a bit odd.

That 230+ is definitely a technical issue. I'd suggest you pair your gamin to another HR strap, and see if you get normal readings.Leiothrix wrote:I think gadgets are great. if i don't warm up i get a heart rate of 230+ (which is obviously not good).

Just after I get on the bike there is a downhill section, and being keen to move I pedal to go fast (because it's fun!). If I remember to take it easy at the start there isn't the big spike at the beginning.
I use the same strap with a forerunner 310XT for running and get the same average readings, but I always walk for around a km before starting to run so I'm properly warmed up.
I haven't actually confirmed the reading by counting when exercising, but sitting here just now it's reading ~70 which my counting agrees with.

I haven't used Endomondo but I'd say it's probably smooth because it's been smoothed. Maybe see what it looks like under Garmin Connect, Strava or using a tool like fitdump.Leiothrix wrote:I'm not really sure it's a technical issue as far as spiking goes, mostly because the graph is pretty smooth and follows the amount of effort I put in.

Was a bit Say What though when it first happened, but seeing as i wasn't breathing hard it was pretty obviously the garmin and not me.

230bpm is a known Garmin anomaly.
