After Garmin added the Training Status widget to Fenix 6X I thought that its VO2max chart was perfect. If I cycled more and got more frequently VO2max values then this chart simply depicted the cycling VO2max values. When I ran more than the values were based only on running VO2 max values.
But recently I started to assume that the chart sometimes uses both type of data, and it is the smaller problem. My example: last time I cycled was on 24th December 2022. I got 48 as VO2max, which was a confirmation of my earlier values of 48. Fine. Since then I ran and got values of 46. Technically the chart was a sort of “descent” on the left then a sort of almost flat. I was waiting that around 21st January it would be almost flat (see 4 weeks, which is 28 days).
But it did not happen, the older than 4 week old cycling values were shifted to the right. So for a couple of days the” descent” were fading away, but before getting the almost flat type of chart then the whole “descent” section re-appeared.
Yesterday (38 days after getting my last VO2max value being bigger than 46) finally the chart became almost flat, so it included only the correct values. But today the pretty old value of 48 re-re-appeared again. So my VO2max chart of 4 weeks starts with a fake “descent” section from appr. 48 down to appr. 46, and it follows with a section depicted using the realdata of appr. 46.
What the heck! Has anyone had the same sort of observation?
Of course one has to have a cycling powermeter to get a cyclingVO2max, but maybe there are more here with it.
