RUNGAP Fantastic App for IOS

RightNow

Is anyone still using this app? I like it but my heart rate zones are completely off in the Suunto app. The maximum heart rate is setup correctly in the app

@RightNow
HR zones are not managed currently in SA itself, but in Suunto watches.
Meaning also, when importing an activity into Suunto App (manually by fit file, or with outside apps like run gap), the HR zones are defined as some default calculated ones.
It is like this, as far as I see for my particular use cases.

@RightNow I’m using this app, and as mentioned above, it has nothing to do with heart rate setup. All heart rate/other intensity zones are set up in the watches. The app just moves your FIT file around.

@NickK So when importing activity the zones are different in SA then training load is not calculated properly?

Importing from where?

SA will use the zones set up in the watch. So, if your zones are set up correctly in the watch and you import a workout from elsewhere, that file’s data will be analyzed based on SA’s zones, and the resulting training load should be correct.

For a while, I was importing workouts from COROS and Garmin, and at least hrTSS was always spot on. pTSS/rTSS differed slightly but only because my pace/power setup wasn’t up to date on the S9P/SA side.

@NickK For example from Zwift through Rungap to SA.

@dulko79 I’d imagine as long as your zones are set up correctly in the watch, anything you import via RunGap should get a proper training load.

That said, I think not all Training Zone features recognize workouts from outside of Suunto. So, your training load displayed in Progress page may be correct, but some of the details in the Training Zone like Intensity might be off.

Sorry to bump this thread, but is anyone having issues importing data from Rungap to suunto app?
It worked recently, tried today but the activities don’t appear on suunto app.
I am on beta v2.31.0 (14012) of SA

Edit: solved , after some hours I got notification from Suunto app and all activities are there

Little off topic, but…
Is there a way to “use” rungap, either on android or with a Windows computer?

Guess not. For android there is syncmytracks

@André-Faria
thanks, but syncmytrack is outdated for suunto : it doesn’t connect safely enough and doesn’t sync any ascent/descent, which is a breaker for me.

@Mff73 No, RunGap does not run from MacOS either AFAIK, requires an iPhone or iPad. You might be able to find a very inexpensive old iPodTouch, that has no cell connectivity, just WiFi and it will run RunGap.

@Brad_Olwin I have an Apple M1 based MacbookAir and RunGap works for me on it. So potential option. I also have an Android phone so I use RunGap on my Mac.

Thanks!!! I need to try that!

Just got Rungap - it’s very cool! One question for other users: any idea why an export from Garmin into Suunto, does not show the time in heart rate zones in the latter, even though it does in the graph?
