RHR file storage

Hi all,

does somebody know where the resting heart rate data is stored within the /GARMIN filesystem (if at all)? Is it the lowest HR given in the monitor files under \GARMIN\Monitor?

Thanks,

Stefan

    OK, found it. Its the second last entry in the daily monitor files, field 2 contains the 7 day average and field 3 the daily RHR

  • Now, what I'd like to find is the "Recovery Heart Rate" recording.  You can get it on every workout if you want 2min post before you save, but I am not aware of that data being anywhere to view otherwise.

    from my experience the Recovery Heart Rate value is only contained in the fit file created by your activity or workout

    taken into account the 2 min before saving....

    easy : setup a key combination to make a screenshot of your display : while showing the real Recovery HR value press the key combination

    not easy : you could find Recovery HR by uploading your fit file here fit2tcx runalyze

    • and search for 'event=21' or 'recovery'
    = TYPE=6 NAME=event NUMBER=21
    --- timestamp=940692578=2019-10-22T15:29:38Z
    --- data=143=143
    --- event=21=recovery_hr
    --- event_type=3=marker

    • 143 is the HR after the 2 min wait
    • now you only need to find your last recorded HR during the activity
    • and do the math Slight smile

    It very clearly written in my question and answer, and a less snappy comment would be more encouraging to anwer you.

    - \GARMIN\Monitor\

    - second last entry in the daily monitor files, field 2 contains the 7 day average and field 3 the daily RHR

    I assume you know how to read .fit files
