BT HR strap questions

[Long Run Nick]

One of the neat things I have learned after being on the planet for more than 7 decades is "nothing ventured, something lost".
I doubt I would have gotten to over 85,000 miles running if I didn't experiment with different training methods and gadgets.
My running is my play. If the Polar doesn't work for me it will go back. Geez, I may even try Oakley's Radar Hearables running sun glasses.Nick

out of interest; why the nike running club app and not the normal apple workout app?

Good question. Or why not another third party app?

I got interested in the Nike app when the Nike Watch was announced, and am using it because I like their training program. But from what I hear, other running apps have more features.

nicho, you must have read my mind. Heading out to run and had decided to use Apple workout app. Not sure why I got wrapped up in the Nike app.
Being a Garmin guy, using RunGap I could transfer my runs to Garmin with the Nike app. I don"t think the Apple workout app will.
I am not sure why I got so locked in to making sure my runs get over to Garmin. I may have mentioned in other posts that I have manually recorded all my runs and have a large drawer filled with calendars dating back to 1976(April22 to be exact) listing all my runs. I also have a kind of spread sheet that I update(manually)monthly that reflects total miles run for each month and a separate sheet listing my 526 races(currently) with finish times, HR once they came out and often placement in the race.
The rest of my life is pretty normal After seeing the movie Beautiful Mind I promised myself I would just stick to recording my run data. My wife wouldn't allow me to write on the walls. Nick

Easy 6 mile run with Apple workout app. My HR was 30-40 BPM higher than normal for over 1/2 the run. Avg HR for run was 146. Normally, my HR average for a run like this would be around 130-132. Not sure why it was so far off. Had watch band at normal tightness for a run.
The good news, the lap pace seemed to be on target most of the time and there seemed to be less battery drain.
I did miss the voice and giving me average pace for the whole run and advising each mile. The workout app kind of buzzes- hepatic- but not as noticeable. And, of course, not being able to flip it to Garmin Connect via RunGap.

the workout maps can't be flipped but there is a rungap app for ios which should do the business with the rest of your info.

nicho, as I mentioned I use RunGap but it does not seem to recognize the AW2 workout. At least with the run I did Saturday. Did a 10 miler with the Nike app and it got to RunGap and I was able to flip the run to Garmin. I have not consistently been getting the maps with the Nike app.
Also, nicho my Polar BT HR monitor strap arrives today. I will post how that goes. Nick
