Vo2 Max dropped considerably since 6.10

Hi all,

Any one else noticed there Vo2 Max has dropped since around the 6.10 update 3 months ago? For years now since my Vivoactive 3 i've had a an excellent Vo2 max score (52) then since July it dropped to just good. i would put this down to a decline in fitness but i know that's not the case.

I thought it might have been a change in running route so today i went back to an old route and maxed out for 15 minutes to see if i can improve my score. Run felt really good infact i beat my 2Km PB! yet the Vo2 max score only slightly improved and still not what it used to be pre-6.10.

I might try the walking Vo2 Max score at the weekend see if it's something to do with that because i haven't been walking with my Garmin for a long time.

I'm not that bothered about this it's still a great device just wondering if anyone else has seen the same.

Mine dropped from 53 to 52, but I think I was in slightly better competition shape when it said 53.

I have noticed that when I do extra good runs with personal best times, it doesn't mean higher VO2max. I probably just managed to push myself harder and run at higher heart rate.

Mine dropped by one point as well but just like ovekvam I attribute that to a better shape and training back then as I had an illness and had to do a break in trainings for some time. And I expected that to happen.
