This last week I purchased a Wahoo Fitness Bike Sensor case for my iPhone. With this device I?m able to have it monitor my heart rate from a heart rate strap that I am wearing around my chest. Here is a picture of what the Bike Sensor case looks like mounted to my Optibike handlebar.
I?m currently testing out the iPhone software program called ?Log Your Run? on it. This software logs my speed, time, my location (including elevation) on a map, and my heart rate readings. Here is a sample of my ride home earlier today after I saved the results online and brought up the graphs.
On this trip I was trying to go at a fairly steady pace and trying to keep my heart rate about 140 bpm. While riding you can keep track of what zone you are in just by the color of the heart rate shown on the iPhone screen. These same colors are represented in the above pie chart. This device is going to be a good tool to use to improve my riding results and keep me in the right zone.
