Hi everyone. First post. Proud owner of an inspire HR but a bit confused about the cardio fitness numbers. Had the unit for about a week.  Initial score was 42-46 ....do a lot of walking. Went for a run yesterday and the score changed to 41-45. I assume this is not as good as 42-46.  Felt punished for running 😀. Help.

When you do a connected-GPS run, Fitbit uses that data to fine-tune your fitness number, presumably making it more accurate.  Without a few runs, it really doesn't have much to go on.

See How do I get a more precise estimate of my score?

and the surrounding articles for more info on cardio fitness score.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
