Yeah I’m not suprised one bit. If you wanna see accurate results stick with the chest strap. I wonder if Garmin has made some firmware changes recently?

My wrist HR was definitely showing higher HR recently when I forgot to pair the strap to my replacement watch!

Cardiac drift.
So watching my HR climbing 1 beat every 1-2km on my 15km run today got me thinking about cardiac drift.
How much does dehydration affect it?
And a high BMI/BF%?
Core temperature is the key contributor to cardiac drift…so dehydration must be considered a contributory factor…

Makes sense. I try to drink on my long runs but I’m always a kilo lighter at the end at least. Will try harder.
what is a kilo as a % of mass and how long is long?
I’m talking in rough terms; today I was about 87kg in the morning, ran 30mins am, ate and drank in between, then 1h30 pm, was 86kg after the last run. Previous years I’ve weighed myself before and after runs and it’s generally true with a one hour run even if I drink on the run, I guess I just gush.
Long at the moment is 1h30-2h.
I have sometimes suspected my body offloads water for some other reason. My blood pressure drops significantly after a run too.

I’ve found that after swimming, not sure if it’s the cold water? Never really checked after running or cycling.

Why the double session - strategic?
not uncommon - post ex hypotension…
edited to add that if you feel faint or it drops too rapidly, go and see the Doc

Strategic? Yes.
I have always struggled with run consistency and run volume. Also, last year I did it traditionally up to 4-5hrs running per week for a while but had some unspecified problem the doctors couldn’t diagnose that stopped my running volume for months.
I tried double single-sport days since last autumn, and I’ve found it’s much more enjoyable and much less stress to just have either running or cycling, unless it’s a brick day.
Also, when I’ve ran 21km in a day it’s much easier to finish and much less recovery time for the bike workout or swim the next day.

Yep, am a big fan…
But it does depend on what you are training for…

Just watching the boat race at the moment and they’ve got HRMs on the coxes of the 2 crews.
The Cambridge cox was up to 160bpm and the Oxford cox at 175
