I ran a mile indoor race on 3/27 and put in my distance and time even my weight but the VO2 Max doesnt show in the summary section and it does for my other runs. I dont know why?

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or gazelle - when the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Inspirational sign on a runner's office wall

I think you need to change the time to be 5:55.47, instead of 5:55:47 -- it is interpreting that as 5 hours, 55 minutes, and 47 seconds, I believe -- so probably falling off the bottom of any VO2 max estimate tables.

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

Susan,

Enter your weight and then the VO2 max will be calculated for you.
