Finish screen view of today’s 10,000 meter rowing session. Notice how irrationally, unrealistically low, at 40 BPM, was the heart rate displayed from the chest heart strap at the moment the 10K was completed.
Today’s main workout was 10,000 meters rowing with the goal being to row at steady pace averaging 2:34.3/500 meters.
There were two heart straps worn, each with its own receiver providing a heart rate graph. The Garmin chest strap provided intermittent readings and they were all irrationally low. The Scosche heart strap, which was located on an arm, gave continuous, reasonable, rational readings. You can see their two graphs below. (The RowPro graph is from the Garmin heart strap.) There were a few SkiErg sessions done as warmup. If anyone wants to see their graphs & data, they are viewable via this link to my: online logbook.
RowPro report for today’s 10K rowing. The “End HR” column shows heart rate from the Garmin chest strap at the end of each of the twenty 500 meter splits of the 10K session. Even though I was rowing at a very low effort level, my heart rate is never that low when rowing at any speed.

The data on this heart rate graph is from the Scosche heart strap which was worn on the arm. Its heart rate data seems totally normal.
