SPR Mar 2023 11:27am, 23 Mar 2023 39,888 posts	Quote Pin SPR Comment on another thread reminded me about this question I wanted to ask about Runalyze. Is there a way to auto exclude some runs from the VO2 Max calculation? Anything interval like means poor calcs, but don't really want to have to click on all the runs I want to exclude.

I use the "trail run" on Garmin quite a bit to achieve the same for the Garmin VO2Max data, but not really thought about the Runalyze data set as I feel their VO2Max estimates are a bit less well engineered. Though mainly I don't like the fact that they are lower
SPR Mar 2023 11:39am, 23 Mar 2023 39,889 posts	Quote Pin SPR Thanks might join that. The issue with Runalyze is only works for steady/ progressive runs as the measurement is for the whole run (you can see the measurement each interval in laps). Garmin can take the VO2 max measurement from a section of the run. It would be nice if it auto recognised runs that would give poor data.

SPR Mar 2023 11:50am, 23 Mar 2023 39,892 posts	Quote Pin SPR Just joined and looks like you were right about a quick response. Promising that they're looking at something similar to Garmin. Making sure it doesn't overestimate will be the challenge there I think.
larkim Mar 2023 12:03pm, 23 Mar 2023 20,672 posts	Quote Pin larkim There is the "time constant length for effective VO2Max" setting, but I don't know what that actually does. I suspect it is the setting for ignoring activities shorter than a specific length in seconds (e.g. my strides from last Friday had no runalyze VO2Max data against them as each one was about 21s long). I did intervals last night and the reps came out about 68-70 which is utter nonsense of course, though because I do jogging recoveries which I include in the run I suppose the averaging of the high values for reps is offset by the low value for recoveries.
