I use the epix gen2. I run 15-30 miles a week, I use heart rate training (not pace training) and I generally use training recommendations from the software. I love the recommended workouts, with two big exceptions: 1) when you run up a hill (any hill), your HR goes up (same as when you walk up the stairs). I don't want to slow down on the hill to accommodate the software recommendation for HR, so I keep running at my pace and my HR goes out of the "zone" I'm supposed to be in. Then the software has the watch tell me my HR is too high (beeping), which is super annoying and unhelpful and makes me want to slow down (which is the wrong answer for training). Ideally the software is taking into account real-time elevation changes and allowing for HR variation based on the climb. 2) when doing interval training (a sprint session, for example), the "recovery" block assumes your HR immediately goes back down, so again I am getting "beeped" by the software that my HR is too high when of course it is going to take 90 seconds to recover from 165bpm down to 115bpm while still running. Is there any solution to this?
