Training status differs from Edge 830

Hi,

I have recorded rides with the Edge 830 which have shown an increase in cycling VO2 max, and the Edge's training status is displayed as productive. On the 955, and on the Connect section for the 955, the training status is displayed as unproductive for cycling. The increased number for VO2 max is displayed correctly on the 955 and on Connect, but an arrow points downwards even though the number has increased.

Another issue is the advice given is to reduce high intensity activities, even though the load focus section says I am deficient in high aerobic and clearly states that I should do more.

It is important that you sync the Edge before each ride to make sure it use the same values when it is doing its calculations.

What do you see when you switch device in Connect? Each device got its own values.

The VO2 max arrow can point downwards even if you don't see a decreased value since it is a rounded value. If the VO2 max changes from ex 55.3 to 55.2 the arrow will point down but you will still see 55.

Thanks for replying.

I sync the Edge before each ride.

On Connect the cycling VO2 max has increased from 45 to 46 on both the Edge section and the Forerunner section. Yet the Edge section says productive and the Forerunner section says unproductive because the cycling VO2 max is decreasing. The increase is also displayed on the graph within the 955 itself.

I am aware of the rounding issue as I download the files to Golden Cheetah where the VO2 max is reported to one decimal place.

It is easiest if you post a screenshot of the VO2 max 4 week graph.

Does the training status page says the status is based on the cycling VO2 max trend?

The graphs show an increase on both devices and in both sections of Connect.

Yes "Based on your cycling VO2 max trend" is indicated for both devices on Connect. Both devices have gone from 45 to 46 yet one says VO2 max has gone up and the other says it has gone down.
