Calories is not corect

Former Member over 5 years ago

Did a 42km crosscountry competition yesterday. It took about 3 hours.

The watch only registred 520 used calories and a training effort of 1.0.

I had an average puls of 166 during the competition.

Does anyone now whats wrong?

Have a Garmin 235 watch that normaly works fine.

Can you post screenshots of the HR and Time in Zones graphs for that activity? Or share the activity link. Also a screenshot of the Calories In/Out details would be interesting.

Hm, strange indeed. Are the weight, height, age, gender, and activity class parameters correctly set in your Device Settings?

How many Calories/hr do you see usually at runs with similar HR?

This is the day before, a little test run.

During the race normaly 900 cal/hour

Well, I do not see much suspicious, but one thing - there are several drop-outs of the HR in the marathon run, so I suspect it somehow influenced or invalidated the calculation. If the user parameters did not change in the Device Settings, that would be the only explanation I could come to, at the moment. I would advise contacting Garmin support with the graphs and all relevant info (also send them your User Settings).
