If you notice that the progress hasn't been updated after a few road runs, please follow the suggestions below and see if any progress is made after your next run.
- Complete workouts other than outdoor road running.
- Solution: Use Run or Track Run modes.
- Frequent changes or large differences in heart rate or pace readings such as interval training or trail runs.
- Solution: Complete steady-state runs on flat roads with minimal elevation gain/loss readings.
- Shorter runs under 20 minutes.
- Solution: Longer runs over 20 minutes are likely to provide more data to speed up the process to generate EvoLab metrics. The workout data in the first 10 minutes isn't used for calculation as warmup is usually completed in this section.
- Incorrect setting of max heart rate in the Profile of the COROS app.
- Solution: Adjust the setting to reflect a correct max heart rate so that heart rate performance during outdoor runs is within the allowed range and not too far or too close to the max heart rate.
- The heart rate readings of eligible runs need to be between 50% and 90% of the Heart Rate Reserve added back to the Resting Heart Rate. Workout date isn't accepted to EvoLab if your heart rate is too low or too high.
- For instance, a runner needs to maintain a heart rate reading between 115 and 167 if max HR is 180, RHR is 50 and heart rate reserve is 130.

- Solution: Adjust the setting to reflect a correct max heart rate so that heart rate performance during outdoor runs is within the allowed range and not too far or too close to the max heart rate.
The initial requirements of EvoLab are based on the flat road runs completed within the last 42 days or 6 weeks. Please note that this range is moving and not set. The data added from the runs you have completed in the first week will be removed from the calculation in the 7th week. If it's been over 6 weeks since your first eligible running workout, you may notice that the progress decreases than before.
A 30-60 min flat road runs with stable heart rate and pace performance usually can add more than 30% to the progress bar.
