Pm3 Heartrate Average

[[old] Canoeist]

The heart rate numbers are at the end of each split. The heart rate at the end is not an average, but the heart rate at the very end of the workout.<br /><br />If you really want to see what your heart rate is doing in a workout, RowPro records your heartrate every stroke. It shows a nice graph of your heart rate from start to finish. I find the graph much more interesting than the "splits" heart rate numbers. But, in the end, the heart rate graph doesn't change my training or performance. It is just another fun thing to watch.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Paul Flack

This is on the LogCard. It does show an average for the workout summary.<br /><br />These averages (which I do think RowPro should display or allow you to toggle if you've collected stroke data for the row - but that's not the problem I'm trying to get a handle on here) are sometimes screwed up and even the splits the logcard shows seem to be doing some averaging (as described in my previous post), as the PM3 never shows numbers like "68" or "34" at any point during my sessions, though they did show for the logcard split numbers.<br /><br />HR averages are useful to see if you're getting fitter over time when doing the same distance and rate, and instantaneous HR numbers are just that - a point in time that doesn't often tell you anything other than your heart was going at that rate for at least a second.
