    12.5 stone? You'll never make it as a sumo wrestler then. :|

    ...and flying up hills? Is your name Clark Kent? :wink:

    Unless you get a proper body fat test, any estimation from a heart rate monitor will be bollox.

    Just a HRM related question.

    I was going through the options on my HRM when I noticed it there is only for body fat, now I've not inputed any data in for that, it reckons my body fat is 42%??? Now I'm sure that's pretty crap?

    You won't be able to achieve your maximum heart rate on a bike as the bike supports some of your weight, this lowers it by a few beats, you'd be better off doing a progressively harder run until you cannot run for any longer. Or so I've heard ;)
