Today was my first run using HR data. I was to run 8k at a HR below 155. As it turned out, I had to slow my pace down a notch to stay in this zone. I'd call this run a recovery run. I'm still playing around with the chest strap to ensure a good reading.
I ran along the water on a gorgeous sunny afternoon.

Interesting, is it not, that you have to tune yourself down on a recovery run. It might leave you with a little more gas on quality days.
I was thinking the same thing.
155 on a recovery run--seems high (unless you have a 200+ maxHR)? Do you have an idea of your max heart rate yet?
I think you'll get a lot out of the HR info once you have a good volume of data. I've learned a lot from mine.
It's been a while since I did a maxHR, but it was around 185-190 a couple of years ago. A resting rate of 40ish.
