VO2Max using a paddle activity?
-
I’m a new user to the Race 2 and I do not run…can’t run. My jam is paddling outrigger canoes. I use the SUP activity on the watch as it provides me with the real time data that I need. I’ve had my watch for about a week and I’ve logged a number of workouts and I’ve not yet received a VO2Max score. In addition to paddling I have recorded as fast as I can walk on a track and I even used the running activity profile on one of my paddles. Still, no VO2Max.
Am I being impatient as the watch is getting to know me, or is it just not going to give a VO2Max because I’m not actually running?
I’m wondering if all I do is paddle sports, will I ever be able to effectively get VO2Max data from this watch?
Thank you -
@OutriggerPaddleJunkie VO2max “score” in watches is overhyped in my opinion (it’s just an estimate, BTW).
Your activities and fitness/health lose nothing without these types of numbers.
