My training partner and myself, although at similar fitness levels, seem to exhibit very different HR graphs.
His "hanging-out" HR (don't ask us why we measure this!!) is usually up to 10bpm higher than mine. When we start to run it takes a MUCH shorter time for my HR to get up to the desired range, and I usually run at a 2-3 bpm higher than he does.
When we stop, my HR seems to drop more quickly than his does, back down to a pre-exercise level.
Basically, his HR is much more even than mine - higher resting but lower running, versus mine with lower resting but pronounced spikes and troughs.
Can anyone interpret for me?
