    Hi all,

    I’m a long time Suunto fan and moved on to my 3rd watch, the Suunto Race in December last year. The look and feel, usability, features are all excellent and all an improvement on the Suunto 9 that I had before. One feature I had never tried was the customised sport mode - I am a trail runner and like to have a little more information than just pace and distance.

    I customised a basic run mode on 29th July and gave myself a five-view screen. Since that day regardless of my run, the VO2 max returned was always the VO2 max of the 29th July (49.7) I have run a 60k race a 390km race and gone sub 40m for a 10k - my fitness and performance has improved considerably - but still to the same value returned.

    Suunto Support told me to go for a hard reset, which I did straight away. Since then no VO2 is calculated at all. Two runs were tagged as “VO2 MAX”…without telling me the value was.

    Has anyone experienced a similar issue after customising a sport mode? Or is this my own personal bug? 🙂

    I reasonably expected a customised run mode would still calculate my VO2.

    Cheers Rick

      @RickB I have several customised sports modes for run and trail run. VO2 is working ok for me.

      You using an external HR? I am

        Try altering your HR zones by say 1bpm at the boundaries and see if that kick starts it

          @RickB one thought … Try doing the Lactate Threshold test…

            @RickB said in VO2 Max no longer working after Creating Customised Sport Mode:

            Activities tagged as “VO2 max” have a clear Z5 component. It has nothing to do with the VO2max value reported by the watch. And after a hard reset it may take time to get a new value if you don’t do activities with good time in various zones.

            I reasonably expected a customised run mode would still calculate my VO2.

            Yes, custom running modes show VO2max.
