Sigh Aug 2020 12:07pm, 23 Aug 2020 7,140 posts	Sigh Prompted by the helpful comments on this thread, I've signed up for Runalyze and requested an export of all my old data from Garmin, so I can upload it all. Thanks folks!
SPR Aug 2020 12:10pm, 23 Aug 2020 31,007 posts	SPR Runalyze has a tool to sync your historical data directly from Connect. You choose a date range and it appears. I synced mine to the beginning of 2016 as that's all I need for analysis.

SPR Aug 2020 12:41pm, 23 Aug 2020 31,008 posts	SPR For anyone else looking for it, it's under the "+" menu, then "activity sync" and the first icon under actions for Garmin Connect.

Badger Aug 2020 1:08pm, 23 Aug 2020 12,696 posts	Badger Just had a play with the fit files currently on my watch and a couple of earlier half marathons. The drop correlates in descending order of significance with pace, time and distance of run. Recovery HR correlates to distance but the p-value would not survive multiplicity correction, and not to the other two. Most of the fast data are fake parkruns and the halves - these stand out with drops mostly in the 50-60 bpm range (one half at a mere 36 bpm a few years back when I was less fit). Where I see drops of <20bpm, the final HR at the end of the session was almost invariably still in Z2, with 2/30 just into Z3. Drops >50 are all into Z5 (bar one where the total distance was less than a mile and sure to be a confound for duration).
