Does any one do max heart rate training anymore? I don't think that the 26 year old Coach realizes there is a difference between 220-26= her max hr and 220-50= mine. I am not sure I would recognize heart palpitations with some of the short interval work we get.

Yes, it stays on for me in a tight streamline. It is very snug, though.
Glider, the heart rate monitor stays on when you push off the wall in a streamline? I am with Chris and Erik, I have tried many methods for keeping these straps on with no success. The force with which the water hits the strap while holding a tight streamline just rips the monitor off. I haven't tried the suggestion of replacing the strap, but I have tried the idea of home made "suspenders" for the monitor. That kept the monitor on, but it would lose contact in streamline.
I finally gave up on the whole HR monitor thing and went back to doing it by feel, with an occasional check with the fingers to the neck. I might reexamine the idea of an on-deck monitor after looking at the links that james provided.
Oh, I assume that my max HR is 200, even though the formulas would predict it to be 180. Why? I guess that I think of myself as 20 at heart. :cane: Actually, it is because, like Mr. Hochstein, I recognize that the formula is bogus.
