Not sure if this is truly a bug or just something that I messed up somehow. But, for months, Intervals has been successfully collecting the Garmin VO2 max estimates after each ride. But, it has not collected it for the past week or so, even though I continue to see the estimate in Garmin itself.
The only thing I can see that might have changed is that I recorded my first run in a LONG time (12+ months). The VO2 max from that run seems to be the last estimate that Intervals pulled over.
No “user metrics” (source of VO2 Max) have come through for you in the last week. Other stuff is coming in. You could try disconnect and re-connect:
I’m having the same issue since completing a run 3.5 weeks ago, it seems you have to let Garmin
This article: Switching from Running to Cycling V02 Max for Training Status? - fēnix 6 series - Wearables - Garmin Forums is old but the gist of it seems to still hold; maybe Garmin now periodizes based on a 4w block, similar to the widget/connect mobile app. I’m hoping it switches back to cycling this weekend, 4 weeks after my last running value which Garmin is still using
on a separate note, is there a 2 fields for VO2? One for cycling and one for running? Or does garmin actually have multiple VO2max numbers? trail Run / Run / Cycling (insert other sports here)
Running, Trail Running, Cycling, Walking and of course Multisport all have their own VO2max functionality, providing the device is compatible. There maybe other sport profiles, but I haven’t seen it yet.
My watch has Run and Cycling, nothing else. (no Trail Run for eg)
hence I wonder what is coming across to intervals.icu or rather, what is being sent and how it’s decided. (Given what other posters has shown/shared above)
I have running and cycling on my GC Status/web, tho honestly i don’t look at it often but I did notice (with this thread) that looks like the values that’s coming to Intervals.icu is my running one…
Seems my VO2 values have stopped coming through, with last Monday being the last day. I do notice that the running VO2 on my device is requesting that I Run 10:00 outdoors with HR to get VO2max. Perhaps this is the reason.
I’ll see what happens after doing a run, but next week only.
I got a running VO2 transferred in yesterday. So that message is almost definitely the reason. Unless your option for a general VO2max goes away completely it will likely be the one the API provides and won’t switch to the cycling value.
The message on my Garmin is not the problem, as I hardly run.
It’s been pulling my cycling VO2 value for the last year, then all of a sudden nothing, from last week Tuesday. I uploaded a run, yesterday, from a few years ago, but changed the date on Fitfiletools to yesterday’s date just to check, and the running VO2 value pulled through. Today’s MTB ride hasn’t synced either, so there is a problem with my connection from Garmin to Intervals. The workouts push to Garmin, so there’s no problem there.
