Product Gap? Running Coach on Samsung & Whoop GPS Tracked Activities

As a relatively new Whoop user, help me make sure I'm thinking about this right.

I have a Samsung watch, and that syncs to Google which syncs to Whoop. I understand that activities that are synced overwrite activities from the Whoop app. Given that I can't get audible pace queues and such from Whoop, but I can from Samsung, I have a benefit to using Samsung's running coach. The consequence, however, is that since the GPS data isn't synced with Whoop, Whoop doesn't calculate my VO2 max from that run (and there may be other missing parts I'm not thinking of).

If that understanding is right, does that mean that until Whoop has a similar running coach (dunno if that's even in consideration), then if I want the best of both worlds I can't use sync.

Now, if that part is also accurate, then what would happen if I disable sync before a run and then re-enable it after? Would that work, or does it sync past data at all?
