Run VO2 Max updating from Cycling

I’ve not ran since Jan 22nd and been indoor cycling exclusively on Zwift using wahoo kickr + Polar H10. Power meter and Hr are both connected to my Fenix 6 and I’m recording every session in the watch

Garmin connect is showing my running VO2 max dated back to my last run, however on the fenix 6 the running VO2 max is being updated in parallel to the cycling VO2 max.

Has anyone else noted this before I.e. running VO2 being updated by cycling activities?

Thanks in advance

That's why.

Cycling VO2 takes over as your primary VO2 stat when there isn't a recent Run VO2 reading available. Go for a run, and your run VO2 on your fenix will get updated accordingly, and will remain your primary VO2 stat for a while unless you go a prolonged period without running again, in which case cycling VO2 will replace it again.

Thanks.
Understand the watch will switch the primary VO2 based on the most current activities. What I still don’t understand is why the run specific metic is still being updated when I’m not running. I’d just expect the cycling VO2 max to update from the cycling activities. That’s happening, but the running VO2 max is also updating and showing the same date as the cycling date.

I also think there should be a better metric/change in algorithm to accomodate this. I also have periods of lots of running, then nothing - and transfer to lots of cycling... vice versa. Swimming as well.

I dont know if thats true becouse my Cycling Vo2Max didnt update since Jan 2019 but my running Vo2Max is updated.

GRUNDY82 Did this fix itself? I'm having the same problem and I am in contact with support, but they're having a hard time reproducing it.
