Minimum heart rate per lap

Hi!

For an activity with laps, Is it possible to see or get an export of the minimum heart rate per lap? In the laps there is currently an Avg HR and Max HR field. Very similar to the "Max HR", a "Min HR" field could be included, showing the minimum heart rate of that lap.

Currently the only method I know is manual inspection of the HR chart, which is obviously not great.

The use case is interval training, and getting data points on the recovery rate per repetition. Example: 6x1000m with 2 minutes rest / 100m in between. Let's say the 1000s go in around 4:00 per km. The laps look like:

1 - 4:00 - 1.0 - ...

2 - 2:00 - 0.1 - ...

3 - 4:01 - 1.0 - ...

4 - 2:00 - 0.1 - ...

(..)

So the odd laps 1, 3, 5, .. are the intervals, and the even laps 2, 4, 6, ... are the recovery time. What I want to see is the Min HR of the recovery laps, i.e. the even laps. If for example the Max HR in the intervals goes to 160, 170, ... and the Min HR of the rest intervals returns to 120, 110, ... that shows good recovery in between. If the Min HR would stay at 150 - 140 that indicates a worse recovery level.

    This could be done by a Connect IQ data field app. Check the CIQ store - perhaps it is already available. If not, ask the developers on the CIQ forum. Perhaps the AppBuilder app from the user  could do it, or he could add the min HR to the available values, if it is not there yet.

    Thanks for the amazingly quick and helpful reply! I've tested AppBuilder and indeed with that I can get the min HR per lap as a value shown on the device using `lapavg (hr)`. However the field doesn't show up in the Laps view on Garmin Connect, nor in CSV export. I had a look at the docs for AppBuilder but don't see it there. Any idea how to do that?

    Sorry, I know nothing about the app, beside that it exists, and is rather flexible. If you do not find it in its documentation, use the link "Contact Developer" on the app page in the CIQ store. I also already pinged , so I guess he may be posting here when he finds the time to reply.

    Got it to work with AppBuilder! Formula: recordlap (lapmin(hr)), and importantly tick "Record Data to FIT File". Thanks again , and thanks for building such a flexible app!
