FR245 suddenly shows updated Vo2 after cycling!

Former Member over 4 years ago

Hi all,

Just noticed a strange thing and I was wondering if this is the result of a firmware update.

I have an FR245 which I use for running and cycling. Now, I had some health problems lately and stopped running over a month and a half ago. But I resumed cycling lately, and while I have no running workouts the 245 keeps updating (increasing) my Vo2 max. In fact in two cases it even showed the Vo2 on the summary screen after my cycling session, just as it normally does for running.

Everything I've read implies 245 only estimates and shows Vo2 on running activities. So what is this?FR

That would really surprise me, we haven't received a new firmware update in 3+ months

Do you have a Garmin Edge (GPS) or do you have power meters in the first place?

Rather oddly I've noticed my 245 has started doing this since the 5.50 update. Previously it was being calculated when I recorded a walk (I'm not a runner ;) ) but today after a cycling it showed vo2max as part of the activity summary screen.
