Hello,
I did my heart rate drift test today. Admittedly I had a hard time keeping my heart rate at the 150 that seemed to make sense for my warm up. I would jog and then my heart rate would go to 165 and then I would walk and it would go to 130.
My question is in regards to the two methods of calculating the drift percentage. If I highlight the first half my average heart rate was 151. Then the second half was 154. Using the 154/151 technique it looks like the drift was around 2% – meaning my starting heart rate was too low.
If I highlight the entire hour at look at the Pa:Hr is 8.3% – meaning my starting heart rate was too high.
Which do I trust?
Thanks!
Angelique
