Vo2 max / FTP updating

Hi all, i was wondering if my current set up allows for my vo2 max/ ftp to update automatically. I wear a Garmin Forerunner watch, i don’t select “Bike Indoor”, as the zwift program on my laptop is connected to my Garmin account and uploads my zwift rides to garmin connect & Strava. Considering nothing is monitoring my heart rate im not confident my stats are being updated. any help/recommendations would be great.

HR data is not required but which model of Forerunner do you have and what are you running the game on? You may have some options for collecting that data as well which would probably be useful.

Since you are a Strava user, I suggest connecting Strava to intervals.icu so you can explore your existing data.

Thanks for getting back to me. My watch is a Forerunner 745. I’ll have a look at that website

Garmin says the 745 can broadcast HR via either ANT+ or Bluetooth so you should be able to pair it to Zwift directly

if you want garmin connect to update the hr and stats etc then you have to record on the garmin device not just have it upload from zwift
