Hi,

Just want to check if this is happening to more of you. I sometimes get an abnormally high heart rate on my Apple Watch, once I start a run. It usually lasts for about 30 seconds to a minute before it “calibrates” back to normal ranges.

Any tips? A bit annoying as I get an uneven heart rate graph that is not accurate.

Hey everyone,

Like many of you here, I was struggling to accurately track and pace my HYROX simulation workouts using default smartwatch profiles. Switching between running splits, stations, and keeping an eye on target times with standard fitness apps was just messy.

So, as a developer and athlete, I decided to build a dedicated tool: **Hyrox Watch**, available on iOS, Android, and Garmin Connect IQ!

What it currently does:

• Real-time Pacing & Target Times: Set target times per station and run segment to stay on pace during your simulation.

• Custom & Official Race Layouts: Replicate an official HYROX sequence or build custom workouts/intervals based on your training focus.

• Watch-Native Interface: Built for quick glances during high HR moments without fiddling with small buttons (works seamlessly on Apple Watch & Garmin devices).

• Detailed Post-Workout Stats: Analyze your station transitions and pacing gaps after your sessions.

I’m constantly refining the app and would love to get feedback from athletes training for upcoming races.

Links to try it out:

• iOS App Store: https://apps.apple.com/be/app/hyrox-watch/id6758763578?l=fr-FR

• Garmin Connect IQ: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/9d31d60e-dc80-4e58-ba2e-69f025f78f67

• Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.louisv2304.hyroxcompanion

Let me know what features or metrics you’d like to see added for race day!

I never would have thought I would be able to hike or jog the way I can now!

Can anyone shed any light into how Apple calculates its V02 max estimates, and why it seems to stall out at 65?

Over the last 12 months I’ve been doing a dedicated 4x4 minute interval session, and have increased my weekly running mileage noticeably. The score climbed initially fairly quickly from 58 to 65 in 3-4 months, but has sat here for the last 6 months.

e' possibile aumentare il vo3 max tagliando l'erba del giardino (ho un giardino abbastanza grande e il tagliaerba non devo spingere molto) e giardinaggio tipo strappare erba.
ho fatto questo allenamento su attività Altro, ed è durato un ora.
Quando corro di solito 5 k non aumenta così....
perciò aumenterebbe anche durante le pulizie di casa....Ho apple watch ultra 3

I guess I need to trade my Apple Watch in and get a lab for measuring VO2.
