VO2 Max and cycling
-
I may be doing something wrong, or have missed some vital point, but if so please be gentle…
I’ve been using the Race S for a couple of months now and I have yet to get a VO2 Max measurement. I don’t run, but I cycle regularly and push myself into the red heart rate zone (especially when cycling up hills) as recorded on the activity.
What do I need to do to get a measurement?

@Robin-C-B, hi, VO2max estimation works only with running activities.

@Robin-C-B VO2max is overrated. It’s just an estimate, anyway.
Garmin uses it for its analyses, and that’s why people mistakenly think they really need it.

@Matúš thanks - that’s a shame. It would seem a useful tool for cyclists too.

@maszop I don’t doubt that, but it would still be an interesting metric to track over time (but not interesting enough to pay the cost of a professional job - or take up running…)
