Are you interesting in recovery heart rate to measure performance
improvements? I don't measure my recovery heart rate, but what I do is
run the fitness test on the stationary bike at the gym (using a polar
chest strap). It provides a good estimation of VO2 Max without paying
big bucks at a testing facility.
