Anything over 9 miles or so and my chest gets a gnarly rash right in the middle of my chest where my HRM sits. I put a decent amount of body glide, and no change.

Anyone have a way to combat this?

    No idea if this would work and it’s likely not even a good idea, but you could eschew the elastic band and just use double sided sticky tape?

    OR… or you could use sports strapping tape and secure it to your chest that way. I use that tape to keep the blood sugar monitor stuck to my son’s arm.

    P.S.

    The title made me think this was about Human Resources making you do 2 jobs hahaha

      Interesting idea. I’m not sure that would work. I sweat so much I can’t imagine anything sticking. I have pretty sensitive skin, too. I had to wear a 24-hour holter monitor and I literally still have a spot on my skin where the patch was in the shape of a square from months ago!
