Training status using biking VO2max instead of running?

Former Member

I occasionally run but mostly bike. My 'Training Status' screen only takes my running VO2max into account when showing my fitness. Is there a way to change this to biking or all sports? The 'Load' part seems to take into account biking. If I can't change the default app, does someone have a widget that can do this?

    Quick update - my watch has suddenly started showing me biking training status instead of running... Maybe since I've done mostly biking this week and mostly running last week? I wish I could select one or the other, or better yet it could use both!

    For some reason mine switched to biking as well?

    The docs state it uses whichever VO2Max value has been updated most in the recent past.

    This is correct. Essentially the goal is to use the most reliable, most representative trend line in your VO2max fitness history. The fact that there is typically a slight, but significant, difference (generally ascribed to differences in muscular utilization) between cycling and running VO2max makes it wise to only use one or the other at any given time.
