So... I logged #HM #74 this #LongRunSunday. Per #CoachGPT: I ran 4-mile splits with rising HR caps -- 130, 135, 140bpm, then walk/jog after ~12.2 miles. Paces came in at 10:09, 9:52, and 9:16/mi (yes, that last one broke the “no faster than 9:30/mi rule… tough to hold back).

And no cadence locking this time: newly acquired #AirPodsPro 3 can measure HR with much less cadence interference!

So how did #CoachGPT react to this smart-ass human breaking from its instruction of not running more than 12mi? Apparently I passed, with flying color! 🎉😂

@BenjaminHan Interesting, I would never think of AirPods being a better HR monitor than the watch.
If I get suspicious of a cadence lock I just jiggle the watch, have it a little tighter for a while and it usually tunes back quickly.

@pfernandes A couple sources helped me make the decision to start using #AirpodsPro 3 for HR monitoring:

I compared the Apple AirPods Pro 3’s heart rate readings vs a chest strap — and the results shocked me

The AirPods Pro 3 heart rate tracking is impressive

@pfernandes For me a few times just jiggling the watch didn't help. I read somewhere that sometimes it's about temperature and the dry skin etc.
