Fitness Test

Former Member over 15 years ago

I would like to have the possibility to do fitness test like UKK-walk test and others, so that it gets easier to monitor progress.

This is the reason why I am regretting i bought Garmin Forerunner 405, and seriosly considering buying a Polar-watch instead.

Is there any plans of admittint Fitness-test to GC?

I would also like
- customize dashboard
- manual entery of activities

Can't quite see where your problem is. You can set up a workout in your Garmin and do this regularly. Record the data each time you do it and track your progress.

Another option is to take advantage of the "course" feature on the 405, which is really designed for repetitive challenges like this. The VP on your unit will allow you to compete against your previous activity in real time.

I have heard there are plans for more robust goals in GC though (back in the MB forum) but couldn't say when that is planned.

Do a 12 minute run once a month and use this to do your VO2 max and record.
You can also do a 1.5 mile one as well.

Then annually do a real VO2 max test.

Just a thought.
