Some questions about custom Captured Wellness Fields:
I set up some sleep custom fields I fill manually: Deep sleep, REM sleep, Total sleep. They are expressed in seconds, and I want to write them down in hrs:m. I.e., I write them down like “1h30m” and it gets converted to “1” automatically. The only way to make it work is to convert the field to “Text”. Is that correct? Don’t think so…
Is there a way to get the 3 fields above from Garmin Connect?
I also set up an “HRV Score” (not rMSSD) to fill it manually from HRV4training… Is there a way to connect it automatically?
Finally, I set up a “kCal Consumed” field: how to connect it to MyFitnessPal?
I’m getting my sleep data from Garmin, but it’s not Garmin → intervals.icu But I’m using Apple Health as the intermediate. Garmin → Apple Health → BreakAway (my App) → Intervals.icu
HRV → most people are using DropBox CSV export to get this into interval.icu
I don’t have the “Apple” bridge, so I write down the data manually. Garmin is telling ms hrs:mins, and it would be annoying convert these in seconds only to be re-converted by Intervals in hrs:mins…
I do use DropBox CSV export, but intervals gets only rMSSD and not HRV score, which I use, as far as I know…
HRV score from HRV4Training is 20 * Ln(RMSSD).
The natural log compresses the range and gives a better overview ‘visually’. It also makes sure that CV interpretation is correct. All literature regarding CV uses the natural log of RMSSD - CV values differ considerably in between non transformed and natural logged numbers. The multiplier of 20 results in a number on a scale of approximately 0-100 (may get >100 for certain individuals), that’s just for easier comprehension. There’s nothing wrong with sending it to the HRV field as long as you stay consistent.
I get RMSSD from Kubios but use the 20 * Ln(RMSSD) from HRV4Training in a normalized setting (by dividing by the avg RR duration). These calculations need to be done outside of Intervals for as long as Calculating Wellness fields is not supported. My, not so user-friendly, solution is an Excell file getting the data, doing the math, and sending it to the Intervals API.
