The constant beeping of the watch when above the target zone has made me run with awkward, short steps to reduce my heart-rate. This in turn has placed pressure on my hips, creating discomfort.
I have decided to turn off the incessant beeping.
My maths must be weakening. When I set up a 30min exercise on my watch I created it in heartrate zones 3, 4 and 3, with 5min, 15min and 5min is each zone respectively, which obviously doesn’t add up to 30mins. It’s just as well, as after 25mins of easy jogging, my left knee began [...]

It turns out that I was using the OwnIndex exercise setting, which is supposed to lock you into one particular heart-rate zone. I should have [...]

I guess I need to read [...]
I got given a Polar RS200 watch for Christmas from my mother and sister. It seemvery user friendly.
This morning I woke up, strapped on the cold damp hear rate monitor, laid motionless in bed and recorded an OwnIndex of 45 and a resting heart rate of 55bpm. This means that I have a Moderate fitness [...]
