Connect IQ App Showcase App: START TO RUN

App: START TO RUN

peterdedecker over 8 years ago

The schedule is a 10 week run/walk schedule with 3 lessons per week.

Advice:

Try to run in an even pace (run slow enough so you can keep up this pace!)
Walk in a way that you are active but also recuperate enough to handle the next running block
Take (at least) one day of rest after each lesson!
Treat the schedule as a guideline (take extra rest when you feel too tired!)
Consult a doctor to take a cardiogram is a wise thing to do

Trivia:

This is the schedule that taught me how to run. Back in the day I couldn't run 500 meters, now I'm running ultramarathons... so this schedule worked wonders for me... I'm pretty sure it will also enable you to take up running, which is the reason I wrote this app for the Garmin Connect IQ platform.

Hi Robert

I've created a bug report and also uploaded a new version that contains a workaround for the issue. (I'll remove the workaround once the bug is fixed in the firmware).

When you download the new version (1.6) you should be able to exit the app by swiping left now

Released v1.6:
- fixed vivoactive 3 to allow to exit the app

Thank you Peter! I'll download the new version.

Hi,

the app doesnt show or track heart rate with my Forerunner 235.
Known issue? Or what should I do to troubleshoot this?

Are you using and external heart rate strap or the built-in optical heart rate monitor?
Can you try my other app https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/ea97af1f-1e5d-4541-820c-9bd994080d4c to see if you get heart rate here?

I'm using the built-in.

Same problem with "Peter's Pace". It seems like it activates the HR monitor I see the HR monitor icon as activated for a few seconds when quitting the app - also see photo below.

First I didn't think it tracked my HR, but I see now in my Strava activity that it did track it but didn't show it in the data field. See https://i.imgur.com/GVFdIlz.png

I've released a new version of Start To Run 5k (1.6.2) that explicitly implements the heart rate sensor. Could you download the updated version of Start to run 5k? (try both with your optical hrm and a heart rate strap (if you have a strap))

Now it works :)

Unfortunately, I don't have an external HR sensor/strap to try with.
