Deckard Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I've always known that riding is more of an anaerobic activity but was always curious as to how high my heart rate got on an average run. At 66 years old I thought it might be of value to know. I've started wearing a monitor some days and found that on a typically aggressive top to bottom run at an average western resort (Colorado mostly) I was hitting 150 bpm+ by the time I'm pulling up to the lift. The good news was that my heart rate recovered to it's active base in less then a minute. Just curious if anyone has done anything similar and if so what info they might have gotten.

Corey Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 I had a FitBit knock-off watch for a while. I logged 190 BPM during aggressive runs with a slalom board. Accuracy is suspect, but it was pretty closely matched readings on a treadmill during HIIT training. If you believe the "220 - your age" rule, I should have died. ;) Didn't care, it was fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow4ever Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) I wear a Garmin Fenix 3. I feel it's underreporting my heart rate when I ride.... cause i feel my heart is going to jump out of my chest when i stopped.... My stats at least according to the watch: running vo2max of 54 with resting heart rate of mid to low 30 at sea level. The saw tooth in the end is where I was lapping gun barrel at Aspen Highland. Grey is heart rate, green is elevation. Edited February 21, 2018 by pow4ever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 The slope on the altitude is interesting. Fast lifts or slow rides down? I think I'm glad I don't have such data or I'd spend too much time looking at it! RHR of 30's? Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow4ever Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 lol; I traded it all just to ride like Corey once "my RHR for Corey's skill". You know how my lollygagging carving way too well. make 5 turns; sit down to catch my breath hahaha... Garmin compress the data/time line in some shape/form(supposedly it's lift aware?) : As a data nerd I am trying not to digging in... I often miss the forest for the tree ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crote123 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I often get between 180-189 on my Garmin on agressive slalom type riding . I'm 54. Threadmill tests a few years back have shown 183. I sometimes hit 185 when all out pumping my longboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
