vo2 max not showing up even after multiple runs and walks.
-
I’ve been walking and running for about … 1 year? with Suunto Race. This is my last run from today. I’m generally not an intense runner, I go for distances rather than sprints, so my HR doesn’t go up that much, But this time I thought, what the hell, let’s see if this will make it work. Nope.

@George-Katsanos I think you must run at least 30 minutes in your zone 4 and flat surface. In the case of the SR using the HR from the watch not external sensors.
-
@cosme-costa in this forum I read you need 8 minutes of zone 2 running … I think 30 minutes would be exaggerating … any official Suunto representative to give us an answer from support?
-
@George-Katsanos Could be that 30 min is too much but it was what I recall. 8 minutes seems too little for what I recall, the same for the HR zone, if you want to know your VO2max doesn’t make much sense to do the workout in zone 2.
If you want to get the VO2 values try what I tell you: OHR from the watch, flat surface, 30 minutes in Z4 and you should get it. If you were using a SV you could do it with an external sensor but not yet with the SR.

@cosme-costa I’m new to Suunto (8 runs so far, all with a Polar H10 until this mornings). I’ve gotten Vo2 Max estimates, but no Lactate Threshold/Race Prediction numbers yet. I saw some in the forums say you needed to use the watches oHR for it to calculate so I did try that this morning. The oHR was definitely way off to start for the first 15 minutes of the run, and the file ended up saying I had 22 minutes Z4 (53% of the run) and 11 minutes Z5 (27% of the run). So even if the requirement is that the data be from the oHR, I should have had enough for it to generate some sort of estimate (which would have been a wrong estimate since the data was garbage without using a strap for me)
