I don't think this is possible. I remember reading a post (can't find it now) by one of the Firstbeat Analytics people explaining how it works. Basically, they use HRV to guess your respiration rate, and that requires good quality data. Wrist-based HR is good enough for this at low intensities, but when your heart rate goes up during an intense workout like running, it is way too inaccurate to get meaningful HRV data. An HR strap still yields good quality data even during the most intense workouts. That's why respiration rate and lactate threshold detection (which is derived from respiration rate) requires a strap.
