Fitness age is suddenly wrong...

Hi there,

All of a sudden my fitness age has gone from 40 to 43.5... One of the recommendations it gives me is "Increase Vigorous days" 4w avg: 0 days per week. But I run between 9 and 18 kms 3 or 4 times per week, every week... I did for the last 4 weeks. Those before were "vigorous days". Something changed or it is a bug? (guess it is a bug)

Best,
Kurt.-

Hooo, very interesting. My fitness age suddenly jumped from 40 to 42 on 31/10 after being 40 since March and none of my vitals have changed, and my cardio activity is identical to what it was last month. Same as you.

Yes, I think there's a bug there. I didn't even update to the new beta patch.

By the way I also notice that my Load Focus (Anaerobic, High Aerobic and Low Aerobic) suddenly registered a big bump and Anaerobic and Low Aerobic are now above their optimal range. That's wasn't the case before. As if I got much older suddenly and the watch wants me to slow down my training.

ovekvam you notice this as well ?

I have a missing high aerobic focus, and I actually have zero high aerobic activities, so that makes sense. That is how I want it, as I try to have very polarized training.

Yes but the question is have you noticed an unexpected change in fitness age and/or Load Focus recently ?

0 ovekvam over 1 year ago in reply to JRKingOfBeer

I never look at the fitness age, so I don't know if it has changed. The load focus has been stuck on missing high aerobic for several months.

Good finding, I have the exact same problem. My fitness age took +5 years and one improvement is vigorous days whi are stuck at 0. Despite 4 runs per week and more than 30km/week... I guess Garmin wants us to increase our training a bit more ;-)

Ok so when I woke up this morning, my fitness age had gone back to its usual 40.

But after doing my 45' morning cardio, Garmin raised it back to 42.

Fitness age isn't something I care about personnally but it looks a bit messy.

Same thing on my profile

Yes, this morning mine is back to 39... so now I am even younger, haha! Probably a hiccup in the server side because AFAIK there has not been any update since yesterday on our end.

Best,

I've had this before. I find if you manually delete your last weight on Garmin connect and re-enter it again your fitness age goes back to what it was.
