Change Speed mode on Polar HRM while recording?

Can you change the speed mode (from bike to run speed) on a Polar 625x while recording data? I didn’t think it was possible but recently saw a posting where someone had a single graph that measured speed (and HR, altitude, etc.) for the bike an run legs of a race.

I’ve had to stop the watch after the bike, change the mode, and then start recording for the run if I want speed/pace data for the run.

Maybe its a software solution that lets you concatenate two separate files?

Thanks in advance.

I don’t think it can be done on the fly, you have to stop recording, switch modes and restart - you end up with two hrm files.

I’ve heard there’s a software solution for stitching the two hrm files together, I’ve never tried it

You can link them together in the software… open both files and select the edit, merge files option.
