Progress Performance doesn't update and other issues with resources and stress measurement

[Liszto]

@Brad_Olwin i’m only using my suunto vertical solar nothing else. I supposed it must be enough ?
Each time my HR seems to be OK (at least I consider it like this when I see the charts)

[Brad_Olwin]

@Liszto I am not sure a 15 min run is long enough as you stated 15 min 3x per week. I do not know all of the specifics for race predictions but you need sufficient HR quality and some higher intensity to make that work. Fifteen minutes is just over a warm up or less, mine are 20 min prior to doing intervals.

@Brad_Olwin sorry I wasn’t clear enough hehe but my workout are more something like 1hour (at minimum) with differents intensities between warmup and real training session
After 7months I think (even if it’s something not regular) the result must be displayed ^^

Something odd going on, mine has worked for ages although quite optimistic for a 68y old. The VO2M is low, my measured is 54.

@Brad_Olwin for example this is my session of the day, and I still have the message “do 1 outdoor activity” after this one.

@Liszto one issue I see are your zones! Zone 5 for 40 min is not possible. I don’t know how you set them but they are too low. This may contribute to your issues with race prediction.

[Liszto]

@Brad_Olwin I just update my HR zone just in case.
They were the default ones (not defined by myself) based on simple compute 200-age (if i’m right). Currently 36 years old (soon 37)

I change my max to something like 198 (sometimes the watch reached that value or more but I set this one because the accuracy of the sensor is not the best vs belt HR which is in my case often lower) and I change the percentage of each zone to match with something “more” logical.

Let’s see during my next exercice what will happen. I just hope all my previous training session will not altered the next result

[Brad_Olwin]

@Liszto That is not likely a good way to calculate zones. The Z4/Z5 interface should be your LT. LT should be an all out effort for 40 min. You can use the Suunto+ Cooper Test or LT test to get an idea of this zone. From looking at the HR trace I suspect somewhere near 170-175. I would base zones on a test or using ZoneSense for a week or more.

@Brad_Olwin I would use my last 10km race because it was almost a perfect 40’ but I notice my vertical get an issue on it at the end…
I already noticed this bug twice before this one sadly where the sensor seems in default and stuck to something like 210 forever

[Brad_Olwin]

@Liszto Personally I do not get accurate HR using the optical sensor and always use a belt. But you could try the 40 min effort. Note that you should not be able to go any longer than 40 min at your LT.

@Brad_Olwin I acquired a belt recently so I will use it on my next runs.
Fun fact : my wife (who has a VO2Max estimation with her S9PP in less than a mont) has HR zone not set up and clearly wrong (bottom zone 5 value is 160 ) 95% of each run is in Z5 haha.

Thanks again for your returns, I will try some run with my belt AND with better zone settings.
