Up Roark's cove Rd today. I almost decided to do my running workout but decided to wait the full week and do it Tues. Spectacular day, super low dewpoint / humidity, low 70ºs bright sun.
Left my watch at the office so I paired my Coros strap with an app by Polar to record my workout. (Strava app won't work on my old iPhone 8). No PRs, HR - the usual.
Bike climb - Roark's cove, 2.5 miles
time - 23:24
Max HR - 184
Avg HR - 166
Avg speed - 6.2 mph
Couldn't get detailed HR info because I was off their chart most of the time, which went up to 155.
This is the beginning of the 8 days of very dry sunny weather with temperatures coming back to summer levels in the mid 80ºs by the weekend.
143.7 lbs after workout.
I like gadgets. The newest gadget I'm thinking about buying:
CONNEQT Pulse
https://conneqthealth.com/
It’s basically a BP measuring device that uses SphygmoCor® technology and claims to assess parameters such as central blood pressure (cBP), arterial stiffness, subendocardial viability ratio, augmentation pressure, and augmentation index, etc... The company seems to have credentials.
SphygmoCor® technology technology is a non-invasive system by Atcor Medical and Cardiex that measures central blood pressure (cBP) and arterial stiffness by analyzing pulse waveforms captured from an artery in the arm, wrist, or finger. This provides a more comprehensive view of cardiovascular health and risk than traditional arm blood pressure.... The system is used in leading hospitals and research facilities worldwide and is considered a gold standard for assessing central pressure and arterial stiffness.
Anyway, seems interesting and not that expensive, $280 (with discount). I asked my cardiologist friend who said he'd check it out.

The new Kardia mobile 6L looks interesting too, it detects afib, ConneQT doesn't.
