Recently I started running with my wife who is slower. I weigh 150 pounds but add about 18 pounds on my arms, legs, and also hold hand weights. That makes the run much more challenging for me and gives me a more intense workout at the lower speed. Unfortunately, my 265 does not know I am carrying weights. After about 3 weeks it lowered my VO2Max score.
I guess it detected that I am slower and breathing harder so it lowered my score.
Is there any way to adjust it or trick the software somehow to comprehend the extra weight? It would be nice if there was a variable where we could enter extra weight.
