Rate response

A while back I posted about how happy I was with my PM settings.  I was getting really good response to my needs for higher HR during exercise.  Of late it hasn't been as good.   I think I've noticed though that wearing hard soled hiking shoes gets my HR up more than my running shoes which have a soft minimalist heel.  Is the PM responding to vibration from heel strike on the ground? 

Am I on to something or out to lunch? 

Thanks friends,

on to something

My guess is you are on to something. If your pacer uses an accelerometer for rate response, the vibrations are what triggers it. That said, I would imagine your cadence in hiking shoes is a lot slower than running. Did it work well running before? Sometimes our hearts change with time and settings need to be tweaked.

I will bring it up at my upcoming check up. 

Take care,
