Performance Stats

So I recently upgraded from a Vivoactive 3 to the 5 plus and had a question regarding the Performance Stats. I know that with the Vivoactive 3 that VO2 Max would only update on a GPS run.

I have a HRM-TRI and a foot pod along with the Power Meter data field from Garmin and will run on the treadmill. Will my Lactate Threshold or FTP/kg update on treadmill runs, or do they act like VO2 Max and only update on GPS runs? I didn't know how it would effect training effect and status if other metrics aren't being updated due to running indoors.

Any info would be great. Thanks in advance.

The guided lactate test requires that you do an outside run with GPS enabled, so presumably it wouldn't update on a treadmill run, even with the footpod providing pace/distance data.
I can't find any documentation to confirm or disprove that outright though.
