Garmin Non-compatible True Up

Equipment

Anyone able to get True Up to create Training Load from non-compatible devices, as per this 2018 update?

“ Collecting Data from Devices that Aren’t Compatible
Even if one of your devices doesn’t support this update, the activities you record on it will be sent to your compatible devices* through Garmin Connect, so your VO2 max, training status and training load numbers stay up to date.”

I have a fenix 6S Pri and Edge 530+ which are compatible, and a Forerunner 45+ which is not.

I should be able to get Training Load from activities on my 45+ through Trueup….

I have a Forerunner 245 which is not listed as compatible but TrueUp works fine with it and my Edge 530.

I think the 245 is the primary because when I set it up I was a runner that was just getting into cycling.

Found a compatibility list here that does not include the 245: What is Physio TrueUp? | Garmin Customer Support

I notice my vo2 max is based on cycling, wondering if that’s the problem and if that can be changed

Mine used to show a vo2 max for each, one for running and one for cycling. I don’t see that on my phone anymore (I haven’t run in a year). If you look at reports in Garmin Connect’s web interface you might be able to see both of them there:

Maybe this link will take you to it but if not you can find reports on the left: Garmin Connect |

VO2 Max is under performance stats in Garmin Connect mobile app. I’ll have to see if I can get the estimate to catch up to my age :smile:

Yeah, seeing vo2 max isn’t a problem - having training load scores from FR45 activities is.

Every couple of months or so since I got a Garmin Vivioactive watch GC seems to record two VO2Max numbers. Ive never set the watch to record though and it would only go of a optical hr monitor which I don’t rate).

Still not frequent mut more often it fails to record the green line point altogether and you see a separation of cycling and general VO2Max.

Tried the FR45 with my HRM Dual for a ten minute run. Opened it up on the Fenix 6S Pro - no load information, doesn’t show up in Connect Training Effect either.
