Freestyle on TomTom Spark 3

GingerPele

I use freestyle mode when playing 5 aside. I used to get approx 800 calories burned an hour up until a year ago when suddenly the calories were cut in half. I know 800 is about right. My metrics have stayed the same and if anything I am covering more distance.

Are you using the built in HR or a chest strap or neither? Calories for Freestyle are based on HR so if you changed the HR method or if HR is lower it will give different calories. Look at those activities from a year ago and see how your HR compares.

I’m using the built in heart monitor - and the readings are about the same - the readings for running seems to be correct

The logic behind it may have changed or your personal stats might be different. Make sure the stats are right and that is all you can do. there is no way to change it, it is what it is.
