The last time my watch showed a 'peaking' training status was April 2022. Almost 2.5 years ago. I now go between productive, maintaining etc but never reach peaking. Since then I've achieved several pbs on a variety of distances including the marathon. My predicted time for the marathon on my watch is 12 minutes slower than I achieved a few months ago. I do speed work twice a week, long runs, races, parkruns, easy runs, weight training etc but nothing gets me back to peaking.
April 2022 was when I had another issue with Lactate Threshold on my account never updating. It still has nothing - just a blank graph. My Vo2 used to go up or down one depending on a race or fast parkrun. Nothing changes. My vo2 dropped one when I had a few weeks off with a broken toe but has never climbed back up.
I train 6 days a week. Fitter now than 2022 albeit 2 years older but I can't understand why I am missing so much personal performance data or it just never updates. I have asked this a few times over the two years, had the watch replaced even by Garmin and been through all the resets etc. I can't seem to get an answer on this. Anyone else?
I know many will say that the stats are just numbers and not like a real vo2 assessment however they used to work and now they don't and it's been two years. It was a good idea of how fit I was even if the numbers were not perfectly accurate.
Other things that have stopped working:
I used to get a + or - number flash up about 15 minutes into a run to show performance condition.
I would get a message to say how many hours of recovery were suggested
Another message to say how a restful day has improved recovery time to x
I purchased the watch in April 2020 and received a refurbished one approx 2 years later.
Does anyone still get these notifications and adjustments to performance or have they been wiped with software upgrades?
Other than timing my run and GPS for such an expensive watch I don't seem to get any of the features as advertised! I haven't changed any settings.
