F265 with HRM-Pro Plus

Is there any need to use a HRM-Pro Plus with a F265? I have an RD-POD so I think i have all the running metrics covered. So, for lactate thresh hold, do i need a Garmin or will a CooSpo H6 work?

Thanks, Len

    Apparently the CooSpo H6 sends R-R intervals so the watch should be able to measure HRV with accuracy for the lactate threshold.

    did you try coospo chest strap?

    does it work for LTHR detection?

    can you please share the exact model used?

    I did try the CooSpo H6 heart monitor.  It did pair with the 265s without any problems, and worked well.  I forgot how much more responsive the chest strap is vs the wrist.  And I tried it a couple of times before I write this.  But, LTHR didn't work.  I then bought a Garmim HRM-Pro Premium, and KTHR worked just fine.  So, it appears from an N=1 users that you need the HRM-Pro Premium to get LTHR.

    Mmh that's strange.

    I bought the Coospo H6 in the meanwhile, this morning connected for the first time on my FR 955 (sorry not a 265) and run the Garmin LTHR test without issues.

    And finally found the LTHR value.

    So I would say that Coospo H6 works for LTHR on 955. Are you totally sure is not working on 265?

    I just completed a lactate threshold test on my 265 with a CooSpo H6 so it seems to me that any chest strap that supports HRV will do the job. Doesn't have to be a Garmin one. The value it gave me agreed surprisingly well with TrainingPeaks and Intervals despite the (presumably) very different methodology.

    That's true. Edited previous reply to clarify.
