Garmin VO2 Max no longer showing up in Intervals.ICU

How do I know whether I am nusing the daily (training status) field or the custom activity level field in intervals.icu?

I just figured out that a value is put into the field when I did a run that day:

But not on days when I did a ‘virtual’ bike ride:

Maybe it is du to Garmin only updating VO2max on outdoor activities?

That value is the daily field. The activity level field does not get included into the wellness data.

Cycling FTP within connect does also update from garmin on indoor activities. It just prioritizes running in the API even though the connect UI prioritizes your most regular of running/cycling.

Hi,

My Vo2 data not showing. I think I have it set up correctly to show , any ideas ?

Thanks
Sean



Hi all,

Recently I’ve bought Garmin Fenix and started running more seriously. Until now I mostly ride a bike (Garmin Edge 840, more than 6000 km this season). I just noticed that VO2Max for rides is not in the activity calendar. Does it mean Garmin won’t send it with activity from “a secondary device”? After ride, I was able to see cycling VO2Max on Edge device…

It sends it to Intervals from my Instinct 2

The problem is that garmin only provides one value in the api, and it favours the running value.

You can add the Activity custom field to pull the value garmin stores after each activity and use that for charting and if it is on the fitness charts you can use it on the calendar.

Note the 52 is the run value and 54.26 is cycling from activity

@zigford how did you set your Garmin to send Vo2MAX data to intervals…?

Do you mean sending my current vo2max? I’m not due that I have it configured to send. I can’t see it anywhere in my account.

If you mean my CP, then I just configure that manually to match stryd

You wrote about a Garmin device, so I think you have one…
Is there any setting you know that allows interval to import Vo2max autonomously from that device?

None I’m aware of, but I’m interested, is there a place in intervals to set your vo2max?

I actually think I saw somewhere a place to insert it…
…if not, how do all the graphs that track Vo2max works…?

You can put it in manually in your Wellness Box of the day, but it should also import automatically if you enable Wellness import in the Garmin Settings.

I’ll take a look at this later tonight

Hi @R2Tom: here’s my setting, but it doesn’t import Vo2max:

Do you see any difference with yours…?

Hey Everyone,

How can I plot my estimated cycling VO2 max that displays in Garmin Connect? I have tried all of the different varieties of “V02 max” but i think it keeps pulling my running one, I cant get it to grab the cycling version. Any tips?

See above

Thanks, I did that but it just keeps showing up as 0’s. I re-imported all of my activities from Garmin and nothing.

verify your FIT file hs the value

hi,

On a given activity, select “Custom”, “Add field”, and copy the values below:

and also copy that in the ‘Script’ tab:
activity.isNew ? activity.VO2MaxGarmin * 3.5 / 65536 : activity.VO2MaxGarmin

Then at the top of the activities fields, you have the VO2Max displayed:

You need to reprocess the Fit file.

PS: I don’t know how Garmin estimates this value, but it seems pretty high. I am good but not that good unfortunately !

I am the only one who tried and didn’t work…?!
