In fact I misunderstood the question EB, I thought you meant look at the HR while paused on the run. Why can't you see it on the Garmin Connect web page? Or on the Fetch upload for that matter?

I'm not sure a wrist monitor would really give you good enough data to support any conclusions about something "medical" like that.

You could download the gpx file and look at the specific heart rates recorded in the file around the time of the pause - it sounds complex but isn't too bad. There are online converters which would do it for you (e.g. mygeodata.cloud this puts HR data in the final column, not particularly user friendly but does the job)

But remember you're only getting HR every few seconds or so so its not as if you're getting each individual beat recorded.

Oops that link looks broken because the final bit is .cloud and Fetch only allows 4 characters in the last part of the string.

So put dots in this [slash][slash]mygeodata[dot]cloud[slash]converter[slash]gpx-to-xlsx

Or just google "convert gpx file to spreadsheet" etc

I don't think you can see pauses on Connect (or Fetch or Strava), but I used to sync my workouts to a site called Sporttracks which if I recall correctly did indicate pauses. I think you have to pay a subscription though.

If you actually pause the watch, then it doesn't record data during that paused period - if that's what you were asking. strava can be forced to "show" pauses if you tag the activity as a "race" (then it starts using "elapsed time" for everything rather than "moving time"), but as above - if the watch was paused and nothing recorded, all you'll see is zero pace and time elapsing.

Whilst I remember, only spotted yesterday a feature on my watch (Garmin Vivoactive) which I hadn't noticed before. If I run with the HR monitor on, when I stop (or pause!) the watch and don't hit "save" for a couple of minutes afterwards, it then pops up a measure of my recovery heart rate - i.e. the fall from the last point of the activity to a point about 2 minutes after the activity ceased. Might have to pay more attention to this.

Thanks I'll give that a look. Garmin Connect just doesn't show the pause I don't know why. I've 'played' the run and looked at graphs. The graphs show the drop in hr and speed but drop in cadence is after those recording drops if that makes sense. The run play doesn't show a pause although I'm on my phone but requested desktop site in Chrome. In Cornwall camping atm will look on laptop when I'm back at home

But it would let EB see whether her pulse rate fell before she went over, or whether it was just dropping because she'd paused her watch, which I think is what she was asking about. Maybe I've misunderstood.

About This Thread

Maintained by Elderberry
Everything you need to know about training with a heart rate monitor. Remember the motto "I can maintain a fast pace over the race distance because I am an Endurance God". Mind the trap door....

Gobi lurks here, but for his advice you must first speak his name. Ask and you shall receive.

A quote:

"The area between the top of the aerobic threshold and anaerobic threshold is somewhat of a no mans land of fitness. It is a mix of aerobic and anaerobic states. For the amount of effort the athlete puts forth, not a whole lot of fitness is produced. It does not train the aerobic or anaerobic energy system to a high degree. This area does have its place in training; it is just not in base season. Unfortunately this area is where I find a lot of athletes spending the majority of their seasons, which retards aerobic development. The athletes heart rate shoots up to this zone with little power or speed being produced when it gets there." Matt Russ, US International Coach
