Working at training in specific zones will help to build fitness and produce even better results at lower heart rates.
Better results is always better. Here's to hoping this thing works.

Thinking about doing a strong push over next couple days to see if that number could go up. I'm almost positive I was well above the 200 mark a couple years back.

Just got it yesterday so first shot. We'll see how the numbers come up next couple rides... If the numbers somehow "normalize" to a different, lesser range, then I can perhaps consider this session an outlier of sorts. If it does however come up in the same range, then one of the main things I'm interested in finding out is whether or not that's indicative of something else going on, good or bad, at this point I'm really not sure.
