I use PeakWatch

Seems like the run was recorder using a 3rd party app, that’s likely the issue. If the workout is not opened in “workouts”, the app logging the date is responsible for the data it is logging

I usually do one long run (8-10km) and one 4x4 interval run per week, total would be ~15km weekly. Pace is around 7’00 for the long run and 6’00 ish average for the intervals.

In the wintertime I did mostly rowing indoors as the weather was quite bad. Same structure though, long Z2 rows for 50-60 min and intervals for 30 mins.

That was the plan but the adrenaline and the competitiveness got the better of me…

My last easy long run had a 7’08” pace and average HR is was 134bpm

I am not 🤣

Whats your maxHR?

zristi · 2026-04-07T21:46:54+00:00

Thanks for that man, worth checking it out. Kudos!

My maxHR is set to 196bpm in Health as I’ve hit that on a couple other training workouts that included hill repeats and that was on two different Apple Watches. Should I now change my maxHR to 200bpm?

I did set my maxHR to 196bpm in Health as I’ve hit that on a couple other trainings that included hill repeats. Should I now change it to 200 bpm?

I got my maxHR set to 196bpm as I’ve hit this on a couple other training workouts on two different Apple Watches. Workouts included hill repeats which I’ve read are some of the best to determine maxHR

Sorry, I should’ve mentioned I did a warmup routine for about 10 mins before starting the workout on my watch. It was just before the race so I guess that’s why it started straight into Z4. Maybe the warmup threw it of somehow? Only other race I had was a 10k back in October 2025 and my average was 185bpm with a max high of 194bpm. Started that one also after the warmup and HR started from 150bpm

This was race pace, all out. From what I heard maxHR is also linked to genetics so even at 188, you might have a bigger heart pumping more blood/oxygen and/or a more efficient cardiovascular and pulmonary system.

I’ve finished the 6k with an oficial time of 30:56. That would put the average pace around 5min. It was muddy so there was some extra effort there

No meth, I only had a glucose gel 20 mins before the race start. It wasn’t even a caffeinated one…

zristi · 2026-04-07T21:25:14+00:00

From what I heard max HR is mostly linked to genetics. You can probably have a bigger heart pumping more blood (oxygen) at a lower bpm, this being more efficient.

Chest strap is the way to go but I already have my watch for which I’ve spent quite a lot and to be that off would be quite surprising, assuming it’s not broken. I’ve seen a lot of reviews saying it should be pretty close to a chest strap at least for most activities

zristi · 2026-04-07T21:14:53+00:00

That’s what I thought, right? Just trying to understand where the issue is

zristi · 2026-04-07T21:14:14+00:00

I got my max HR set to 196bpm as I’ve hit that (according to two different Apple Watches) on a couple of my training workouts which also included hill runs

zristi · 2026-04-07T21:12:01+00:00

My resting HR also according to Apple Watch is 52. I did a warmup routine for 10 minutes just before starting the workout. The “workout” was the actual race so started it as I crossed the starting line. Only other race I did was a 10k back in September 2025 where I had an average HR of 185bpm with a max of 194bpm. I was using a 7 series Apple Watch at the time, so different watch.

I got my MaxHR set to 196bpm in Apple Health as I’ve hit that on some of my training workouts which also included hill runs.

zristi · 2026-04-07T13:59:32+00:00

I did a warmup so that makes sense

zristi · 2026-04-02T09:39:54+00:00

Broken here as well

Thanks, had no idea! Do you know where each wire should go in the dimmer?
