For X Mas my children bought me a Garmin Forerunner 305 with the heart
rate monitor. I have used it and fortunately the HR worked fine and I
didn't even have to adjust the straps or anything.
Saturday I plan on doing the Coach's famous speed (i.e. puke test) to
find out what my Max HR is. It will be interesting to monitor how I do
relative to % of HR and such.
After a few years of watching the board I might just end up in the EBT
camp.
