Workout Builder w Duration "heart rate..." question

Former Member over 6 years ago

I'm building a new workout and saw that I can set the duration based on heart rate. The one thing that isn't clear is that if I select "above" and put in a heart rate, does it end when I go above that, or is it saying that the step will last as long as I am above that duration? I'm leaning towards the former, but I'd hate to go for my run and then get a nasty surprise when the step finishes unexpectedly.

Hey. Did you ever get an answer?

It's like the OP guessed: a step with "duration = above X heart rate" means the step will end when you go above an HR of X.

I created a workout which includes the following step:
- Run | Duration | below 150

On my watch, the workout step description reads:

"Run Until HR < 150BPM"

Similar results with a step defined as "Run | Duration | above 100"

The UI for this could probably be better....
