Getting Your VO2 Max. Estimate for Running
This feature requires wrist-based heart rate or a compatible chest heart rate monitor. If you are using a chest heart rate monitor, you must put it on and pair it with your device (Pairing Your Wireless Sensors).
For the most accurate estimate, complete the user profile setup (Setting Up Your User Profile), and set your maximum heart rate (Setting Your Heart Rate Zones). The estimate may seem inaccurate at first. The device requires a few runs to learn about your running performance. You can disable VO2 max. recording for trail run activities if you do not want this run type to affect your VO2 max. estimate (Activity Settings).
- Start a running activity.
- Run outdoors at a moderate or high intensity, reaching at least 70% of your maximum heart rate.
- After at least 10 minutes, select Save.
- Scroll up and down to view the performance measurements.
