Hi there,

 

I recently stopped using my Fitbit to track my runs as I got gifted a Garmin Forerunner 220 (a dedicated runners watch), but still wear it all the time to track my steps and calories.

 

I was wondering if my Cardiac Fitness is still being updated/calculated as my Fitbit no longer tracks any GPS running, the just activity.

Hi, @Boost01! Yes, your score should still be tracked. However, at some point, I'm not sure when, you will probably start getting a "range" of about 3 or 4 points as your score, rather than the more specific score you get if you track runs with GPS.
