SPR Aug 2024 4:25pm, 21 Aug 2024 45,775 posts	Quote Pin SPR You're on the old predictor @Chris which is hard coded to VO2 Max (almost the same as a VDOT predictor. That always worked well for 5000 for me but rubbish elsewhere. Given your numbers the newer predictor will work better for you. cicerunner.wordpress.com This might help in regards to viewing race predictor on 245 @Little Miss Happy www8.garmin.com

Little Miss Happy Aug 2024 5:00pm, 21 Aug 2024 7,352 posts	Quote Pin Little Miss Happy Garmin app on my phone? Nope. Told you I was technologically challenged. LOL. Thanks SPR - according to that table a 2.40.55 marathon - think that might be based on male VO2 max? Either that or I seriously under perform at all distances.
SPR Aug 2024 5:04pm, 21 Aug 2024 45,776 posts	Quote Pin SPR The 245 has the new predictor @Little Miss Happy so you need to look at the watch or app. The new one takes training load into account so theirs no table official predictions for that (or it would be more complicated to compile). The link with predictions shows what the old predictor would show.

DT19 Aug 2024 9:18pm, 21 Aug 2024 114 posts	Quote Pin DT19 Hmm don't have that in my performance stats section. I'll just look on watch later. Though my vo2 has dropped ftom 67 to 62 in last 2 weeks as my hrm keeps spiking to crazy numbers plus I'm currently running in mid 30 temps on hol so suspect my predictions could be much more sensible than previously.
