I tried out my new Heart Rate Monitor which I got recently as a goodie bag item. It came with a watch and a strap. It’s one of those cheap China brand models - JS-711 can’t really ask too much since it was free. Got it at the Tour de Trail run which was a 10.5km run (which I completed in 1hr 12 min) through the forest of MacRitchie.
I had to strap on the strap above, did some adjustment to it but it still felt pretty tight. I’m not sure but it feels like I’m wearing a bra or something, not saying that I have used one before. It needed to get used to having that thing strap across your chest. It actually worked and I could see my heart rate and percentage on the watch. It beeps when I am over or under the target I think, not really sure what values to set so I just followed what the manual put, probably wrong figures ha ha … anyway at least the good thing was that it showed my heart rate and at the end once I got it down to my normal rate I knew I had warm down enough and could go home. Another good thing was my other watch strap just broke on the day that I tried the Heart Rate Monitor so the watch that came with it double up as my running watch and time keeper as well.
