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). If your quatix® 5 device was packaged with a heart rate monitor, the devices are already paired.
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.
- Run for at least 10 minutes outdoors.
- After your run, select Save.
- Select UP or DOWN to view the performance widget.
- Select START to scroll through the performance measurements.
