No Vo2 max

How many are needed? Vertical docs are not updated, so this is a quote from Race user manual.

The estimation of your fitness level is based on detecting your heart rate response during each recorded running or walking workout. To get your fitness level estimated, record a run or walk with a duration for at least 15 minutes while wearing your Suunto Race.

From this I get the impression that one should be enough. Last week two long ones wasn’t enough; after that I did a hard reset and now I am back to square 1.

@Santana-Hakuba-Kikstra scroll down should be there. For me it took a few runs for it to pop uo

@BastMaSVSRS9PP It’s pretty funny since I did a 30 min morning run today. Down below CTL main screen my watch still tells me to record at least one outdoors run in order to get the analysis. I think I just did that…

@BastMaSVSRS9PP a few runs… 3, 5, 10 how much

BastMaSVSRS9PP

@GiPFELKiND good question. I think it took maybe 5-6 runs or so can’t remember but certainly not 10

@GiPFELKiND took me around 10 runs or so before the estimates came out

@leafs93 @BastMaSVSRS9PP thank you for the information!!! Seems like a faulty documentation…

BastMaSVSRS9PP

@BrunoH yeah they should have put that info into some form of documentation so users are aware

Thanks, but nothing there except personal settings
I’ve done 8 weeks worth of walking, hiking and trail running ( my garmin that this replaced puts my Vo2 max at 65) fitness age20, im 54.
One big issue is that the wrist hr doesn’t register higher heart rates. On the bike i do max efforts at 180-185 hr and my wrist hr is still cruising in zone 2 at 135…

Di you need to run at Vo2 max zone?
Most of my runs are zone 2-3.
On my bike i do most of my high intensity intervals but it seems Suunto doesn’t recognize biking as a way to calculate Vo2 max?

@BrunoH for me it is exactly the same it says to record 1 run or 3 for detailed analysis. I think it is glitch in new software. We just have to wait to get it fixed

My race shows vo2max after 14 runs, fantastic experience.

@zhang965 ! 2 runs and the vo2max is shown on my race… I was very long time in Zone 4 and 5 is this the reason why other users didnt see their vo2max?! I believe you have to spent some Training time in Higher zones to get your vo2max IMG_20240109_194918.jpg

I’m not a 16min/km runner

All my runs are between zone 4 and 5
