bradc: How do you enter the Vdot figure, Jon? I've tried it before and can't see where to enter the figure...

Nice santa suit photo, by the way :-)

Jon X: I just put it in as running/race, intensity 5, added the distance and time.....and like magic vdot appeared !!

bradc: Hmmm, obviously I've never been trying hard enough in a race for that to happen... och well, my vdot would be a negative figure anyway!

Jon X: What happens if you go back to 4 Dec and change the time trial to 'activity' of Running and 'workout' of Race?

bradc: N'owt, sadly! However, if I add in a new race of intensity 5, it seems to create a vdot reading. Add in a new race of intensity 3, and it doesn't, even if it's the same pace. Steee-range.

Alibongo: Even I've got one of those! Worryingly, I've worked out what it is as well. If I knew I was going to have one of those I would have tried harder, can't wait for the next time trial.

Rosco: how can you work out your vo2max (which vdot is based on) if you're not trying very hard?! Bradc?!

bradc: don't get technical with me, Rosco, I may be a geek in front of a computer but as far a sport is concerned I am a complete luddite. I can barely work out where to attach my heart-rate monitor. It's a head-band, right?!
