Ok, so I've always joked about the fact I can get my heart rate up pretty high very quickly and my average is normally significantly higher than anyone else in the group. I regularly get my heart above 200 on climbs but, on a particularly steep climb yesterday evening, I managed to push it to 207!! * This for a heart that's pushing 40!!
It soon drops again as the intensity falls but I'm sure it can't be healthy having a heart rate a cat would be proud of 😕
* (cleaned the climb though 🙂 )
Mines crap - max 178 🙁 and only 35 🙁
Check your HRM... Mine was showing 213 on a gym bike once and i wasn't going hard.

...thud.
same as tricky, I had the alarm ringing continuously on a gym bike last year, I'd barely broken a sweat and had loads left to give.

Throw away the HRM. Issue solved
I've had mine to just over 200 and I'm 33, resting will go down to 45 mind
You can try mine out Neil to see if its any difference but I doubt it 🙂
🙂 @ ourmaninthenorth!
I'm pretty certain it's not the HRM as it shows a steady increase/decrease, not an abnormal spike. Plus it gets to 203-5 regularly. I haven't got a particularly low resting HR either but there you go. Not much I can do about it so I'll just keep going - it's only my heart after all 🙂
