One other thing to be aware of OP is that wired earbuds too close to the HRM strap can cause all sorts of odd readings. (My readings went up to 250bpm as the cable had got too close to the sensor under my shirt).
@spooky_b329 My normal average on a long ride is 130-140bpm with a minimum around 100 and max around 160-175. (I'm overweight or under tall and 57).
What do people find their normal heart rate is for riding? Mine is normally up at 150-160, I’m 37 and 75kg. I’ve used heart rate monitors off and on over the last few years but never really monitored it, I might dig back through Strava and see if it has heart rate from when I first got my Wahoo.
Varies massively by individual, suposedly based on size of heart (smaller ones beat faster etc). Mine is quite high, age 49 and max HR is 195bpm, but I have to be really pushing it to get there. Normally ride around 160-170 going up to 180/185 on short climbs where you just push through rather than slowing down. When I was younger I used to regularly go over 200, 207 is the highest I've seen running IIRC.
Last time I raced properly was the NPS in 2007, here is my HR trace from one of the rounds..

Thanks for those heart rate comparisons, I'm singlespeed so working hard on the climbs so sounds about right. 🙂
Have you had an antibody test, Kenneth? A positive result says you've definetly had Covid, unfortunately a negative test doesn't tell you much at all, you may still have had it.
but to protect it in the night it skipped beats
That sounds...unlikely
