14.00 software vo2max calculation wrong?

Hi all

My fenix 5plus all well last year, but the last six weeks it has had the vo2max score drop week by week, then stay at 36/37 which makes no sense as I am increasing my runs, 25k/week last 5 weeks.

To fix this I reset the device a week ago, all data/settings also wiped, waited a week as it said, and it still says 37.

Now stryd, which I also run with, is telling me I am back at my July 2020, I shows fitness jumped each of last 4 weeks. What is going on? I know I am am factually fitter than 3 months ago, stryd agrees, fenix gone bonkers. Maybe I'll try the beta software as an option.

Above tells me I am 5 points higher for vo2max.

I can debate your point and I would lose if both stryd and garmin saying same thing but that is not the case.

If I wanted an argument I'd retort, I want a dev for garmin to explain what they changed.

How did you fix it? My vo2 randomly dropped from 47/48 to 44 months ago after no changes to exercise pattern and will not budge up or down. Very frustrating!

V15. 00 of software fixes it.
