    From my first run with the X2. Ran 16 miles. Felt okay… Any input on this ECG data? Looks like I don’t have a P wave, is that normal?

    • Looks very much like mine mxpxer7. I don’t have distinctive P wave either unlike my R and T waves – but i presume they must be there as my rhythm is pretty regular. Mine was a 90 min mixed effort. 22 mins on xtrainer as 4 min warm up then 1 min hard, 2 mins active recovery x 6. Then moved onto concept 2 rower as 2 min warm up, then 30 secs hard, 60 secs active recovery x 9. Then 22 mins on stairmaster stepper as 2 min warm up at 89 Steps per min, then approx 60 secs at 97 steps per min, 60 secs at 104 SPM, 60 secs at 111 SPM x 5.

      • interesting, I appreciate the response. I wonder if it means anything… Maybe just the P wave signal is merged with the T wave signal?

        • The red lines i think are when you get a buzz each time you exceed the upper threshold on breathing rate. I have my upper threshold set to 52, and an upper threshold of 0.14 on heart strain

      • Any chance you know what the O’s stand for? Or the redlines?

        • The posts are an indication of an abnormal rhythm / palpitation every now and again. I can feel mine when they occur and suspect i get palpitations or pvc’s (premature ventricular contractions), usually as i start to work harder. The example below from the ECG (between 6-8 sec mark shows one of mine) . I probably have a few of these during each session. Not uncommon in older people apparently (i’m now 65) . I was diagnosed as having LVH/heart failure (by voltage criteria of an ECG – but queried it and asked for a 2nd opinion on the basis of being an ex competitive runner and regular gym attendee , and far from having heart failure, have a very good heart rate recovery following exercise. Saw a cardiologist, wore a holter monitor for a week (including during a gym and spin session, and also had an echocardiogram, which showed a normal ejection fraction of >55% from the left ventricle, and all heart valves were fully functional with mon leakage. The cardiologist said it was Athletic Heart rather than LVH/heart failure.

          • Thank you for the response! I ended up getting a Holter from my doctor. I wore it for 8 days before it fell off. I was able to record some training with it so i hope it collected enough data. This is what my ecg looks like when I get a warning, I also can feel this when it happens.

        • O’s are abnormal beats Frontier has detected. The red lines on your breathing rate will be due to it detecting you upper alert limit that is set. I believe it’s set at say 45 breaths per minute by default.

    • At higher HR pwave harder to pick out. Check your slower rates for it. Also look at the o indicators for premature complexes, theres a lot of those as your HR increases. You don’t have your recovery HR on this chart, which is useful to see that it drops appropriately
