alphaHRV (update)

thats how it looks like

I occasionally had a crash but not recently.
To quickly recover from those, create a dummy profile on your Garmin device with simply one datafield (not an IQ field). When an IQ field crashes, go to the home page, change to that dummy profile for a couple seconds and then go back to your activity profile. The datafield will restart and you loose only a couple of seconds data.

ok, thats interesting and good to know, will try it if it happens again.
thanks

Crash just at 20 min is an issue that I fixed some versions ago. Check if you are up to date. If not, update. Otherwise, let me know it so that I can investigate

had the update from 19.Aug and updated yesterday after the ride to the 31.Aug.

Ok, let me know if it happens again

Hi Inigo, I have a question regarding the user interface: in the Garmin IQ store there are screenshots suggesting that on the head unit I would see Power metric, on Watches I would see Pace metric among others. I installed the App on my watch as a field in my Running AND Cycling and on both I have only Power metric.

Question: if it is possible to adjust the AlphaHRV App Fields according to activity type? Thanks in advance!

You can select power or pace (among others) to be displayed in the auxiliary field. To do that, use the data field settings.

Just to be on the safe side, I’m talking about the AlphaHRV app interface only.


Me too. Go to settings and select Pace for auxiliary field

Thank you! It is not on the watch, but in the the IQ Store App… took me time to understand :slight_smile:

On the previous post - Readiness (Ra) field - is it still there? Couldn’t find it…

Yes, it is as described above.
Be sure you are running an updated version

As some users have already noticed, alphaHRV now provides a readiness assessment during the activity. This is a result of the collaboration with AI Endurance and has been the reason for several updates (and some issues) during this summer.

You can find a detailed explanation on this new feature here → Real-time readiness with alphaHRV and AI Endurance | AI Endurance

Be sure you keep alphaHRV updated checking it periodically at Garmin Connect Mobile

Thanks @Inigo_Tolosa for you work on this (and your Colleagues).

In the AI Enduance link, it mentions:

  • Perform a Linear Regression
    We perform a linear regression in the space defined by effective mean power/pace

    versus effective mean . By ‘effective’ we mean excluding any data points where the power is zero, so it’s the average of all data points with power greater than zero. The mean is taken over the first 10 minutes for running (20 min for cycling) and it is calculated for each of the last 21 workouts. That is, the linear model considers only past sessions. We do not consider the data point given by the new workout yet.

As the linear model is reliant on the last 21 workouts, is it safe to assume if we have <21 workouts that the proceeding steps won’t have a base (or a reliable one) to compare to? Is the readiness then less accurate or not accurate until we have 21 or more?

Also, there was mention of the native Garmin <> H10 connection:

  • For background, we recommend pairing alphaHRV via ANT+ because it does not care about ANT+ or BLE for data quality (both equally good) whereas ‘native’ Garmin <> H10 connections provide bad HRV data in ANT+ mode if your heart rate is above 120 bpm. This is due to a questionable Garmin setting where they don’t allow more than 2 data points per second in ANT+.

What is different about Ant+ and native connection?

Have you already read the AI linked blog post?
Most answers to your questions are there, and in the 5krunner post linked from that blog.
It´s workouts from the last 21 days BTW.
In the first paragraph there´s something about HRV being dependent on training load. I would rather say the response to training load. Subtle difference, but important IMHO.

No, I didn’t; it doesn’t open on my phone. Will check on the laptop when I’m home.

@Inigo_Tolosa
Would you mind asking AI Endurance to make a minor adjustment to their text?

Daily readiness to train can vary and depends on a variety of factors including sleep, stress, sickness and training load.

I would rather like to see

your response to training load

Just done

I go away on holiday & stop checking threads for a bit and upon my return there’s an amazing new AlphaHRV feature. Thanks!

No results on that search here by the way, is that field still public? Or will it not show up if (as I am suspecting) the field isn’t populated yet by my Edge?

And heh, glad I just found this topic, I’ve been wondering for weeks already what that error/warning-like beep at the 10-minute mark was for. (During rides BTW, where I think I read that the data should only arrive twenty minutes in?)
