I have just read your advice on Afib. I was diagnosed with Paroxymal at the beginning of the year from a NHS 72 hour heart monitor follow a stroke. As an ex athlete now in my 70s who ran 13 marathon during the 80s and 90s breaking the 3 hour barrier at London in 1987. I understand from my consultant cardiologist that this disorder is very common…Read More

Hi, I just wore my hrm overnight for the first time and checked the results of the ecg. 57% is normal rhythm and 43% of the result falls into the. “Other rhythm” I’m struggling to get more information about what other means and whether I should be concerned? Anyone got more info?

My heart rate reached 187 and my breathing rate was very high at 59 while my max heart strain was…Read More

The 220 minus age formula is next to useless. For example, I’m 60 yrs old with a max HR of 196, yet I know others my age with 160 bpm max.
I’m not able to hit my max HR during 20 min critical power test, that requires a shorter, more intense effort. So I would imagine your Max HR is still going to be higher than 187, perhaps by as much as 10-…Read More

I am a 61 year old “golfer”, and workout enthusiast. It is my “off season” , and I intend to get after it, and want to use my FF monitor to it’s fullest. Especially since I have HCM as well as AFIB. Can anyone help me in setting my alerts, so as to get the best out of my workouts, while guarding against issues? Thanks.

It helped me understand my condition. I don’t wear the X2 strap for training purposes, i wear it like a Holter to see how my heart is doing on and off my rides. It actually…Read More
