Intensity Minutes

Former Member over 5 years ago

I just did a really hard Zwift race, imported the activity from Strava.

Keept the watch on and used it as hr in zwift.

It was a 50 min full gas race and my hearth rate was in the highest zone the entire time.

Now all i get for it is 10 low intensity minutes, this is not right.

My activity scale is 4 and hr zones and max hr are correct.

Here is a screenshot of the activity and the minutes

I should and that my hydratation goal hasnt changed as well.

It should update automatically, got the watch yesterday and this my first activity. Kind of dissapointing,

Try starting a cardio activity when you do an activity that isn't tracked by the VA4. When you are done, just stop & discard the activity.

This way the activity minutes will be tracked correctly.

Thank you i will try that, strange that you need a workaround for it though.

But Tnx, will do this next time

A question, will also calculate vo2max in that case?

According to the documentation it should count intensity minutes even without a started activity .

I noticed there was not rest hearthrate set for me, might that have been the problem?

Starting a cardio activity just forces the VA4 to actively monitor heart rate. It may, eventually, notice that you are putting out a hard effort ... but starting the cardio activity makes sure.
