@Miroslava said in Vo2 max: It’s frustrating when I can actually see that I’ve improved and it doesn’t change at all. VO2Max changes very little once you’ve passed the large gains going from an inactive person to a regularly training person, so my advice would be to forget that specific data point - which anyway can only be roughly estimated by our watches. Instead focus on the real data, i.e. your perceived effort plus actual Heart Rate at different paces over distance and time. As for Company estimates… Garmin have always grossly overestimated my VO2Max. Since I began running at the age of 53 until today at 65 they regularly put it at 49, 50, 51 ml/kg/min which gives pure fantasy running times over all distances (meaning much, much too fast). Suunto also overestimates it as being around 44 to 45 which, again, predicts racing times I never will reach. Coros however came closer with their 39, 40 to 41 estimates which tallies better with a Cooper Test I did (run 12 minutes at controlled max pace) which gave 42. Still, those figures are all estimates, and with little real world application. If you would like a better insight as how to train (paces for different goals) use a lookup table. Plug in your best effort for a known distance and adopt however you feel. Example: https://www.finalsurge.com/tinman-calculator Taking myself as an example: A couple of years ago I did 4:11 as a personal best for 1 kilometres. Putting that in at the calculator they say run at 6:30-6:57/Km for an Easy pace on flat ground. Jupp, that is what I normally do for the long aerobic sessions. They say do 4:29-4:34 for VO2Max pace. That aligns with the vVO2Max (Velocity at VO2Max) of ca 4:30 I found some years ago [Run at a controlled max pace for 6 minutes - the last 2 will feel like you are dying; the average pace over the 6 minutes is your vVO2Max]. The “Equivalent Race Times” of the table gets progressively less accurate with such a short distance entry as 1 km - they predict 01:49:47 for a Half Marathon while I did ca 02:00:00 a few years ago. But that is the nature of generalisations and different distances. If I plug in that real world race time the Easy pace is stated as 07:04-07:33! Very, slow for a flat ground run. I would hardly reach 70% of my Max HR there…

Can you share the altitude profile as shown in the app of this activity?

@dr_free yes

@peegee I use walking without GPS

@Mister-PYC no worries - the 4 !!! were maybe a little bit too much for an older news. No need to argue how old it was

@Mff73 This is sure. and everyone has different wishes and opinions. the point is more, let’s suggest them , let’s propose, they have a big potential in their watches and they have beautiful things … so why not to suggest and have more if this is doable and does not damage anything

@Egika Hi I have 9PP and my issue was that after starting any activity the heart rate from wrist was not detected. I had to switch off the watch completely, turn it back on sync with phone and only after this the heart rate was working. It was really frustrating to do it before each activity. I did the software update and fortunately so far it is working I’ve been testing for few days and finger crossed it is fixed.

@ChunkNorris and? how does it work!

@the_ultraman yes

@deliu-b I work 4 days a week. I cannot set a reoccurring alarm for 4 days. I cannot set a reoccurring alarm for every saterday (to go to parkrun) I cannot set vibrating alarms in watch mode and beeps and vibrating in sport mode. I cannot choose which datafields to show on the lap screen. In navigation mode, after a tbt alert, the watch now shows distance to the finish and used to be distance to next turn. I don’t mind they changing things, but make it optional. I cannot set gps accuracy on lower setting without also disabling maps. To name a few configuration options that are missing.

@Chris-Ki yes. This is known. Also happens to this widget when exiting neighboring widgets.

@DonTomGot known

@Zoltan-Dobai FYI for those concerned: the chat function via the app works well, I received instructions how to send in the watch and got it replaced in 3 working days. The device was unfortunately broken.

@Egika @isazi thanks both for youre help on this For info, i can see the odd clickable and saveable ‘popular route’ but not on the map where i live in South west England. makes sense now that its under maintenance. thanks again and have a great day Marcus

@Egika hilft eventuell auch einfach den Cache zu löschen in den Android Einstellungen?

@Carmak this clearly should not happen and also not depend an any settings. I would contact Suunto support.

@kokonutz if you really post the same post monthly, it’ll just get deleted.
