Garmin 230/235: breaking out running time/pace/distance from walking time/pace/distance during same workout?

Hi:

Doing more walking than running while I rehab my knees. Has anyone built some software to analyze Garmin exported data files to break out how much running I'm doing vs walking in a given workout? Say, set a pace - 13:15 - and anything faster is running; anything slower is walking. The data should all be there in there - gpx, tpx, fit, something. Don't want to hit my lap button every time I slow down, as I don't care until I'm done, and set intervals don't work. Would be fun to write it, but someone's got to have done it before.

Thanks in advance..

This is probably not exactly what you're looking for, but you can see the time information in real time with my CIQ data field AppBuilder 5 (and record it to the FIT file.)

Let's say you wanted to display (and record) the amount of time spent running faster than 13:!5.

You would use the following settings:

- Formula: sum(if (speed gte 3600 / (13 * 60 + 15), 1, 0))

- Display Format: Time

- Record Data To Fit File: Yes

(speed is in either miles per hour or km per hour, as per your device units settings, so to convert a pace of 13:15 / X to a speed of X per hour, the formula is 3600 / (13 * 60 + 15))

The full formula above counts the number of seconds you've run at 13:15 or faster. A display format of Time causes this to be displayed as [HH]:MM:SS.

Record Data To Fit File causes the formula result to be recorded to the activity graph (once per second). (Unfortunately the FR230 doesn't have enough memory for this to be recorded to the summary instead).

If you're truly more interested in a post-workout analysis tool, it wouldn't be too hard to get the FIT file SDK and write one. Or you could just use the same SDK to convert a FIT file to CSV and analyze the data that way.
