How to enter minimal (resting) heart rate in Garmin Connect?

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hello

Can somebody tell me how I enter my resting-heart rate (minimal heart rate) in Garmin Connect?

In the past I could enter my resting heart rate in Garmin Connect via
User-symbol-in-the-left-margin -> Settings -> Training Zones

These days,though, this page refers me to the Device Settings but on the Device pages (920XT, Edge1000) I cannot find the location to enter the heart-rate-at-rest.

Thanks,
Gert

Garmin may have removed the resting heart range setting- IIRC there were/are problems due to the default resting HR being set to 0. I'm guessing because I can't find the resting heart rate anymore either and I'm certain it used to be there.

I think that Garmin got itself in a bit of a tangle with %Maximum HR and %Heart Rate Reserve. It appears to have "sorted" the confusion by reverting to %Max Heart Rate only and therefore does not require Resting HR as HRR is not calculated.

Yup - agree with your ideas. The strange thing is that, apparently, the heart rate at rest is stored somewhere in my profile because: when I change the value on my devices (which is still possible) it gets overwritten with an old value when I synchronize my activity.
Ultimately you're right - I don't need the value.
