I don't know what the criteria are for that, it may happen after a VO2 max interval session or after tempo runs when I have aimed at staying below my known LT. Then it may go lower than it was and I just discard it. I only take it when I'm doing a field test as described on the 80/20 website. So far, I haven't managed to get a LT when I did the Garmin test. I usually fail the last segment of the test when it wants me to run close to my max HR and my HR just won't budge further up. Instead of giving me a lower value, it just says 'unable to detect threshold'. Another problem is when I have to stop at traffic lights during the fast segments, it makes the test invalid.

larkim Nov 2022 3:11pm, 28 Nov 2022 19,725 posts	larkim 45s is smaller then, only 39.5mm vs the full size 45 which is 42. Not a huge difference but about 11% smaller in terms of overall area on the wrist.
SPR Nov 2022 3:21pm, 28 Nov 2022 39,053 posts	SPR The 255s is 41 so not much smaller than the standard 45 or 55. 255 is 46
