When you do long running workouts, especially on moderate runs, or when do a Z2 and finish last kilometres with some high effort, you miss the heart rate recovery on intervals.icu.
I have started using the Garmin recovery function after the run, but this info is not processed lately, even not shown in Garmin (!), although it is received from the backend in their web:
I have search for this info on the fit file, and what you have is the final recovery HR as an event:
Yes, I don’t want to replace intervals.icu calculated HRRc. This is a different value, different time monitoring -as you pointed- and different meaning (on a moderate run you do not push your HR above your “HRRc min HR”).
The two are great.
Exemple: An athlete did an Ironman at aproximatly vt1. After finishing and stopping, HR remaind over 100 for 9 minutes. Thats important to know and register.
It would be great if HRRc was an editable value. When importing erg-data from an interval session the HRRc is not calculated since there is no data during the rests between intervals. However, since I’m also use my Garmin watch the value can be calculated from this data.
I have an activity custom field that extracts the recovery HR from the end of the session on Garmin. It is public and named Recovery HR (RecoveryHR). Its value is editable.
It surprises me that there’s such a huge gap between “good” and “excellent” HRRc. It’s also beyond my imagination of what a 50-60 beats drop would look like (just got my first ever HRRc number and just start to learn about it). I’m curious if there are any known HRRc numbers from anyone in the elite peloton for reference?
Hi David,
as it is right now, HRRc is computed only for the one interval where the drop in HR is max.
I wonder if it weren’t a great idea to show (quantify) the decrease for all intervals that fullfill the criteria (HR above some threshold and then a drop of at least xY).
That way you could see a range of values, which could be especialy useful when you do a set of similar intervals.
The one max that is shown today could be an erroneous HR reading…

It’s probably even higher because your HR was clipped. Plot HR RAW and check if it is an artefact or real value. Given the length of the clipping, I suspect it is real and your HRmax was set too low.
The raw data but I can assume its an artefact bcs I dont know someone that has 214 as max HR. So I prefer thinking my HRmax is 198 btw the rest was sit down on the ground and Im 23 YO.
