HR area during running is wrong

Former Member over 7 years ago

I have no idea whats wrong: during running my heart rate is always in the red area, but it shows no area, like my pulse would be to low (but it shows thst its in the red area although my pulse is normal). When I sync to garmin connect its shown there wrong. I have 100% of my running in the red area.

I have my pulse areas in the connect app and synced it to the Fenix 5s. Since it broke a few weeks ago I think its a software flaw.

Has anybody an idea whats wrong?

And this is how it looks like in Garmin Connect.ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1269868.gif

It looks like you have your heart rate zones set so that zone 5 (the red zone) is everything with a heart rate larger than minus 1. As any positive number is larger than minus one, and as the heart rate cannot be negative, that means you're in zone 5 all the time.

The fix is to amend the heart rate zones to something more meaningful. In Garmin Connect go to "device settings" for your Fenix, and then to "user settings". Here you can enter more approriate heart rate zone definitions.

Thx for you help. I checked the values but I couldn't find a mistake, so I made a reset of the values and know it looks good :)
