Hi HH,

Coming from Garmin devices (520,820,530) I really miss a field with the average HR as a percentage of my MAX HR of my whole ride. We do have a field for current HR asa percentage of MAX HR, and we also have a field average HR, but not the one I'm used to (AVG HR % of  MAX HR)

    Hey Florian.

    Unfortunately, you will not have the option to set the data field for Average HR as a percentage of the maximum Hear rate. We appreciate you for sharing your preference on this.

    I am not sure if this is going to help a major chunk of our users. But I would be curious to know how important or valuable would this be for the cyclist out there with Karoo 2. Also, this information would help us take the suggestion to our Product team to look into it.

    Hi Abhishek,

     

    Thanks for the answer. I usd this field (on my Garmin's) on longer rides (100km+) with a lot of elevation to make sure I'm capable of completing the ride without blowing up, and having figured out what that 'magic' number is for me (around 74% at GranFondo's of 200km and 4000m elevation) it's easier to see I'm still within range as opposed to remember the exact beats/minute. And that's what I have to remember now (74% of 191 max HR is approx 141), and as MAX HR declines with age, I have to recalculate that and try to remember the 'magic number' every season.

    And programming wise, this should be really easy to build, just use the value you already have (AVG HR for this ride), devide it by the MAX HR you already know from my profile, multiply that by 100, and put a '%' mark at the end. Like 1 line of code
