I ran a very wet and soggy Park Loop Anticlockwise (4.45km). Did not feel on top of my game today.

Strange HR Readings
My heart rate monitor Wearlink Strap was a bit loose fitting the other day, so I tightened it up quite a bit - perhaps too tight.
My HR readings were very erratic, especially after reaching the halfway mark. My HR shot up to 183 and I was not working particularly that hard. Then on the flat towards the Old Pewterspear Garden path my HR dropped dramtically to 123 and I was definitely working harder than that! Then on the approach to and also during the Old Pewterspear Garden path my HR shot right up to 212 - don't think so! Later, on the homeward bound straight my HR dropped and remained at 167 - something more like what I would have expected.
Conclusion: Wearing the Wearlink Strap too tightly can give very misleading readings - you need some slack!
