Vo2 max dropping and LT not updating using Stryd

Hello,

I moved from Fenix 5 to 6 around Xmas and introduced Stryd on my runs first week of january, since that time, with pace and distance from Stryd it is always providing non productive training status, Vo2max dropped 5 point from 57 to 52 and LT is stuck in manual setting.

I'm sure I improved my fitness status because I'm running faster at a lower heart rate, but since the LT is stuck at Nov 2020, my fenix tell me I'm not doing well with recovery time for up to 2 days for easy runs

I read others had the same issue but not able to find the final solution

Thanks

I have the same problem with Fenix 6x Pro and STRYD.
I’m used Vo2max as the motivating factor during my last Marathon training. So this is pretty demotivating.

Any solution og explanation why it is happening

Are you using a treadmill by any chance? I ask because treadmill will not impact VO2, even when using a Stryd. It has to be an outdoor run with GPS.

My VO2 is working fine, on my 6X with Stryd. It's updated twice in the last couple weeks.

Nope! No threadmill. Always outdoors.

I also use Stryd. Have you tried an all-out 5k or one of the Stryd training plan time trials?

I had to stop for an injury and when restarted it seems working. now training effect an vo2max are updated including the anaerobic threshold.

I did 3 and 12 minutes test and from there seems like if something has been unlocked, the other thing changed is my coach uploading workouts from TrainingPeaks
