Yesterday I did a 20+ mile hike. I recorded it as a "walk." Right before I left for the hike/walk, I synced my Fenix7 and the weather was updated. It was 65 degrees. By the time I finished my hike, it was 85 degrees and very humid. However, after I saved the activity, I noticed my heat acclimation actually decreased because it thought I was hiking/walking in 65 degree weather. All that to say: I believe the heat acclimation only gathers weather data from the beginning of the activity, not throughout the whole thing. Comments?
Also, I really wish long walks and hikes would help improve VO2Max and other performance stats. The long hike I did was fast - 4 miles per hour, give or take - with lots of hills - but it said it didn't really help my performance; it was "base." lol.
