Hi,
Just got my Fenix 5 a few days ago. I use it for the gym including treadmill and strength training, jogging, and some MTB riding.
Maybe someone can clarify a couple things for me... I've been doing some reading regarding the different activity modes and VO2Max calculation, and my understanding from that was:
- "Treadmill" does not calculate VO2Max.
- "Trail run" does not calculate VO2Max as they say uneven ground and incline/decline gives bad figures:

- Of the running modes only "Run" calculates VO2Max.
So far I have been selecting "Trail run" for my outdoor runs. They are on roads but very rough roads where I am forced to zig-zag around holes, avoid traffic, as well as there being incline/declines. From what I'd read if I use "Run" on this I'd get bad figures. But equally if I don't it seems I would never get a VO2Max calculation.
Any advice on that? Thanks....
