Subject: Heart Rate Unusually High / Garmin 305
Last 2 days my heart rate has been extremely unusually high. I usually log 25-35 miles a week depending on what races I have coming up. Today I went out for an easy 4 mile run, my HR average 175. It also felt very tough taking deep breath(this could have been my mind playing tricks). Could the heat really cause my HR to be that high, my zone 1 is normally around 145-155 for a 9:15 pace. I only thing I have been doing different then normal is increasing my swimming mileage, besides it being humid here in NY , nothing to different. Wondering if anyone had any insight, as this is pretty frustrating. Thanks.

try a couple things.

first, wet the strap before you put it on....this helps a lot

if that doesnt work, reset the HR scan on your 305...this will work too.

alos, open the bettery on the strap to make sure it didnt blow up/leak.  if this happened, you'll probably need a whole new strap....and they're not cheap, around $65....
