My #Garmin watch has been pushing up my auto-detected maximum heart rate for months now.

And now it says my max HR is 211! Either I’m getting more and more fit as I age (early forties now), or something is fishy. Since my workouts are based on my max HR, they have been also getting more difficult over time. I checked reddit and found many people complaining about this. So today, I manually set the max HR to a reasonable value.

Anyone else faced this issue? @running @garmin #running #runnersofmastodon

    @abnv @running @garmin had the same issue. Garmin went up to 210 and more. At some point I set it manually… maybe I am just too unfit and that fucks up the algorithm
