Fitness Age

@2b2bff Well on my V1 my fitness age was 26 on the V2 it is 38
I’m 59.I don’t take any notice of it to be fair and really don’t understand the obsession with these made up metrics. But each to their own.
-
I’m 29 and my watch tells me I’m 30-32. It hurts.
I train 6-8 hours per week. Maybe that’s bad for me
-
Me for Suunto : fitness age 36 and VO2max 46 and I’m 66 years old. For Garmin 55 years and 49 at my best last summer.

It’s not an obsession, but I think the different race estimations are coupled with that age. Therefore I want to understand it. It’s nothing I’m optimizing on…
-
@2b2bff It should not be coupled with age it it is probably coupled with Vo2max and threshold pace(?), everything else is probably just automated “Riegel formula”.
-
@aiv4r that’s what I’m trying to figure out.
Suunto:
- fitness age: 29
- VO2max: 52.4
- 10k estimation: 41’46
Garmin:
- fitness age: 39
- VO2max: 53
- 10k estimation: 44:06
Me:
- Age: 48
- 10k PB 45:38
- last race result: almost 10k in 45:55
That’s why I think that the race estimation is very optimistic on my Race S, possibly because or connected to that fitness age…
-
@2b2bff The best estimation of reality is reality… wow 🤩
-
Where can I see or adjust that? I didn’t even know it was possible. I knew it was possible with Garmin.
-
@superflo75 yeah, you totally got my point…
@Nordic_Panda it is shown in the CTL widget, just scroll down…

@2b2bff ahhh thx
