Max heart rate ever

Max heart rate is pretty much an individual sort of thing. I would imagine there would need to be a Gunniess Book category for that sort of thing in order to capture the data.

Rumor has it the highest measured HRs occur when pilots are landing on an aircraft carrier, but don't quote me on that.

:-) my bad, sorry for not having explained it better. I meant MY MAXIMAL HEART RATE since I have been using my Forerunner 235. This is what I am interested in.

If your device is set to autodetect max heart rate, then it might be reasonable to assume that that number is the maximum...ignoring spikes of course.

Yes but I can't find an options which takes into account ALL trainings. I can know it in one only but how to know that value among all the hundreds done?

Patrick.arena assuming you've never reset max HR manually, your watch will use the max HR it's ever seen (while filtering out what it thinks might be bad data, afaik).

However, if you want to find the Garmin Connect activity with the max HR, it is possible. Maybe you want to know what date it happened, or whether it was in a race, track intervals, hills or whatever.

You'll need to use the Garmin Connect website for this one. It works best on a computer, but it'll also work on your phone or tablet if you must.

Here's the easiest way to do this: by clicking on a ready-made link below:

Sort all activities by Max HR (from highest to lowest):
1) Log into Garmin Connect in your web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
2) Click on this link: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/ac...sortOrder=desc

Here's the unabbreviated link, so you can see how it works:
connect.garmin.com/.../activities

Your activity with highest HR will be at the top of the list.

Sort runs by Max HR (from highest to lowest):
1) Log into GC
2) Click on this link: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/ac...sortOrder=desc

Here's the unabbreviated link, so you can see how it works:
connect.garmin.com/.../activities

Your run with highest HR will be at the top of the list.

-------------

And here's how you would do it if you didn't have those links beforehand. Maybe you want to sort the list a different way (e.g. Max HR, but from lowest to highest).

A) Sort Runs by Max HR (from highest to lowest)
- Click Activities > All Activities. You should see a list of all your activities.
- Click on the running man icon. Now you'll see running activities only
- You should see column headers such as date, title, distance, etc. If you don't then you need to rotate your phone/tablet or make your browser window wider until you see column headers
- Click on the "slider" icon at the far right of the column headers / activities. This will allow you to edit the column metrics
- Drag Max HR on to one of the columns and click Save
- Click on the Max HR column header twice, so that your running activities are sorted from largest Max HR to smallest.


B) Sort All Activities by Max HR (from highest to lowest)

Unfortunately it is not that easy to do this for ALL activities, because the All Activity list is not sortable (due to different types of activities having different/mixed columns).

If you want to sort all your activities by max HR, first you need to install a "bookmarklet" (some code that will make GC do what you want.)

B1) Install "All Activities" Bookmarklet:
1) Bookmark any site at all
2) Edit the bookmark and copy-paste the following code into the bookmark URL:
javascript:{var h = window.location.href; if (!h.includes("//connect.garmin.com/modern/activities")) {location.assign("connect.garmin.com/.../activities")} else {location.assign(h.replace(/(&)?activityType=[^&]*/, "").replace(/(&)?favorite=[^&]*/, ""))}}
3) Rename the bookmark "GC All Activities" or something.

B2) Use "All Activities" Bookmarklet:
1) Use the procedure in A) to sort runs the way you want (e.g. by Max HR)
2) Click on the "GC All Activities" bookmarklet. This will switch to the All Activities view, while preserving the sort order you just selected

Patrick.arena - it's a bit clunky but if you go into reports on Connect on a PC> Progress summary>Filter > Group by week>All days>all activities then click on the max heart rate column header to sort by MHR - you'll then get the week with the highest MHR at the top and you can then manually find the activity for that week that gave you the max. For me I have several activities with a Max HR of over 250!! this dates from a period where my HR strap was wearing out and giving me silly spikes during the runs if you can filter out anomalies like that then I guess you may find the max HR you have genuinely hit during an activity.

JSRUNNER_ or you can just log into Garmin Connect and click the following link to see All Activities sorted by max HR, from highest to lowest. Your activity with max HR will be at the top.
https://connect.garmin.com/modern/ac...sortOrder=desc

If you only care about running activities, you can use this link instead: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activities?activityType=running&sortBy=maxHr&sortOrder=desc

No need to go to Progress Summary or manually find anything within a given week.

You can also add the Max HR column manually to Activities > All Activities > Running and click Max HR twice to sort your running activities from highest to lowest, as I described above.

The key is that All Activities is not sortable until you choose a sport, because that's how Garmin rolls. (It's actually because the columns are mixed when you have different activity types.) But you can use the method I posted above to sort all activities if you want to. [IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/i.postimg.cc\/nr5SDk4X\/maxhr.png"}[/IMG2]

WillNorthYork - Doh! - thanks - had ignored the simplest solution :)

JSRUNNER_ no worries. Many ppl missed the activity sorting at first, because it's hidden until you select a sport :/. (I get why they do this, because when you have different activity types, GC uses the same column for different metrics, like putting distance and HR in one column for runs and strength training, since strength training has no distance....)

Thank you guys. As the others I get amazed by the fact I didn't know it was possible to add columns and sort on one of them. Now I know I should be dead :rolleyes: for my max HR is 193 and being 48 it should be 220-48 = 172 ;). Thanks everyone for helping
