19.34 Update Base Runs Target

Hello,

After updating to 19.34 my base runs jumped up in bpm. Went from targeting 149 bpm (mid zone 2) to 157 (high zone 2, literally where zone 3 starts). This means that the range now includes zone 3 and dips a bit into zone 4. Watch also changed suggested daily workouts to pace instead of heart rate based. Had to restart my watch to get it back to heart rate. Anyone else having these issues with this update? (Also unrelated but I swear I had auto update off after the whole battery drain update)

Same here. My suggested heart rate for base runs was 152 bpm, now it is 159 bpm. I also noticed that my max heart rate was detected to be higher than before. So maybe that's the reason the zones were adjusted. However, I've got no explanation for the sudden changes.

I didn't experience the uncommanded switch from heart rate based to pace based though.

Interesting. My max heart rate hasn't really changed in a while, so not sure why the sudden increase in base runs bpm. Just started zone 2 training a few weeks ago and hate that base runs bpm range is dipping into zone 4 so will most likely downgrade back to 18.16

My DSW base run target pace dropped by 20 sec straight after this update (and hence my heart rate has gone up by about 7 bpm) and the DSW suggestions feel more aggressive than before. I actually think it is more realistic now, but weird that the changelog didn't mention anything.

I’m also having this issue (but on an Epix gen 2). My max HR and LTHR increased by over 10bpm after updating to 19.34 (max HR is now 210!). My LTHR pace also jumped up by 31 seconds. My target HR during DSW has increased by slightly more than 10bpm across all activities. I wear a heart rate monitor and haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary in terms of actuals, so must be because of the update.
