Just did a 30 minute run with 5 minutes warm up/down. Fitbit is showing 1 minute cardio 3 minutes fat burn and 31 minutes peak. Is this normal or too much ?

Gosh, that does seem a lot. How were you feeling during and after it?

Last 20 minutes were a bit harder and out of breath at the finish but recovered reasonably quickly

Then I’d say that was a great workout!

Unless you and your Fitbit know what your true maximum heart rate is, then the figures are pretty meaningless, being based only on averages, which encompass a very broad range.
