Cool Down Period After a Run

[SifiZonkoid]

Hello Fitbit Team: After a run, the user selects stop and the metrics of the run are provided. I think it would be great if selecting stop puts the fitbit app into a cool down period to monitor the users heart rate for a set period, say from one minute upwards, depending what the user sets, or it could be until they press stop again. Quite often runners want to know how long it takes for their heart rate to settle and at what rate it settles. This would be a nice feature and one that could be easy to implement as the instruments are there. The metric of the cool down period could be tagged onto the end of a graph, perhaps of a different colour so the user can ascertain their heart rate once they stopped running. Many thanks. Simon.

There could even be a control as to whether you want to enable this feature. I like the idea of still tracking my exercise for my cool-down, but not having that cool-down muck up my exercise stats (such as average speed).

Good idea, thanks for taking the time to share it with us. Keen to hear what others think?

Tracking heart rate recovery after exercise is an important indicator of health. Modify the "finish exercise?" selection to move to a cool down mode which tracks heart rate and movement. This would allow the actual tracked exercise to be stopped and immediately start monitoring heart rate recovery trends. The "finish exercise?" selection could then be made from this mode. Anyone not wanting to track recovery can just press the "finish" point twice to exit the app.

When finished running or walking I'd like to cool down... actively tracking as part of exercise but not as part of pace or in a way it takes from the main exercise star.  A cooldown button before finishing
