Put my HRM on for a while around the flat. Was reading in the high 70's to high 80's (when it usually be 50's and 60's at those activity levels) . They say that you should keep training EASY when your resting HR is 10bpm above normal, so since mine was about 20 i figured i had no option but to stick with the HRM for this little run i was determined to do.
Oh what a dreadfully slow plod it was for a run with average 70% max HR. Each of the laps of inverleith park took 11mins when my 'easy' pace would usually get me round in 9mins no probs
