hi. I have used a heart rate monitor for the first time this morning.
I have just started running and still find it quite tough.
I alternate between running and brisk walking.
normally I have used endomondo to calculate the calories burnt and it said around 200 for a 2.5 mile circuit of which I'd say 3/4 of a mile was running and the rest a very brisk walk. It takes me around 20-25 minutes.
today I used the HRM and it said I'd burnt 51 calories.
surely this can't be right!
I'm not sure if it could have lost connection but I'm totally deflated. I had assumed I was burning a lot more.
