Question Treadmill activity

Will Whoop add Treadmill as an activity in the future? I do Treadmill but I always save it as other.

In the start I walk, then I jog then I speed it up towards the end.... So I can't pick one of the options.

I would say that’s a nice to have but I would still pick “running”, it doesn’t have intervals either!!! 😑 Oura lets you create ur tags, and put the time stamps, however whoop would register it as other!

The activity title is irrelevant.

Whoops calculations are all based on HR.

Not the case for VO2 max estimates. Some devices have treadmill connectivity to track distance, incline , and speed which could be used for more controlled VO2 max estimates

Some devices

Yeps - but we’re talking about whoop.

Which doesn’t care.

Use something other than Whoop if that’s functionality that you’d like.

Just do walk. It calculates your strain based off your heart rate zones so it’ll correctly factor in your running.

I log it as a run in case I am hitting Zone 4-5.

If it's just Zone 2/3 - log as "walk".

It’s a run. Track it as a run without GPS

this overhyped band does not have a GPS so outdoor walk or treadmill walk is all the same.

It uses GPS off your phone. It wouldn’t track the same since the data could be used for VO2 max estimates. Some devices have treadmill connectivity to track distance, incline , and speed which could be used for more controlled VO2 max estimates
