Hi, I use the Apple Workout to record my swims. It syncs fine to Strava , except, for the first 500 yards or so the heart rate does not show up on Strava. Any ideas why?
Hi
If it was recorded properly all the time but not synced to Strava correctly, you might need to submit a support ticket.
But if you see the gap / missing HR also in the iPhone Workout app, then the HR sensor likely didn't work correctly for a while - sometimes it's because the wristband was too loose, or because of the cold environment (the optical sensor reads HR from the thin vessels right under your skin; but if it's very cold and the skin is exposed, the vessels shrink and no blood flows to them, and as a result, the HR sensor can't read anything). If that's the case, Strava simply didn't get the data.
Hi , thanks , culprit was a customn workout on Watch app with a warm up period , duh...
Do you know if the work done in a warm up on the Watch is sent to Strava to count in RE ? Or is it excluded?
