Felt really slow but overall a decent run. Just one problem: the last couple of weeks I've been having troubles with my heart rate strap (Garmin soft strap). My watch tends to have more difficulties 'finding' the monitor before the run, then it's fine for a while and usually toward the middle or end of a run it displays heart rates which are way to low (unless I suddenly became a world class athlete :p). Does somebody have any ideas to fix this?

    nice easy run Thomas, not sure about the problem with the strap, I've not used a HRM for a long time

    8:19 pace felt really slow? You've obviously improved quite a lot to be saying that! Nice run.

    Have you contacted Garmin direct or visited their website? Nice easy run today but far from slow.

    Start with changing the battery to see if it makes a difference. Check the internet forums. There are usually lots of problem solving suggestions on there. I am amazed that you think this pace felt slow. That just shows how quickly you have improved!

    Thomas, you are in the zone man. Good effort there today. Hope you sort out the Garmin thing. Gotta do 6.5km once I get home. Crazy week at work ....

    Fabulous run!!! hmmm, mine acts up if it is not freshly and fully charged....could that be it? Once I had an Polar HR monitor that basically suggested I was nearly dead most of the time....tossed that one!

    Nice easy Thomas! A 5:10 pace is definitely not slow. Garmin - I experienced similar problems - replacing the battery helped.
