Totriornottotri Aug 2020 7:14pm, 13 Aug 2020 727 posts	Totriornottotri Sorry question/point is: does anyone have or has anyone seen a screen like this below for altitude? Or is it just a background calculation for VO2 Max. I appreciate a single ride may not trigger it.
Totriornottotri Aug 2020 7:16pm, 13 Aug 2020 728 posts	Totriornottotri I think the threshold may be higher - I guess train high live low is not a recommended way to altitude train so wouldn’t trigger (train low, live high or live high train high) is normal.
Bright Strider Aug 2020 7:17pm, 13 Aug 2020 132 posts	Bright Strider Heat acclimation and altitude acclimation are two different kinds of acclimation. For the heat one, altitude is irrelevant.
Totriornottotri Aug 2020 7:22pm, 13 Aug 2020 729 posts	Totriornottotri Agreed. I’ll try again. Does anyone or has anyone seen a screen like this: No - got it thanks - either I’ve not done enough to trigger it or it’s a background calculation.

For example, high altitude training can have a positive impact on your fitness, but you may notice a temporary VO2 max. decline while exposed to high altitudes. Your Forerunner® device provides acclimation notifications and corrections to your VO2 max. estimate and training status when the temperature is above 22ºC (72ºF) and when the altitude is above 800 m (2625 ft.). You can keep track of your heat and altitude acclimation in the training status widget. NOTE: The heat acclimation feature is available only for GPS activities and requires weather data from your connected smartphone. Full acclimation takes a minimum of 4 training days."
