After the big update with training readiness/ hrv etc my v02max and race predictions dropped and haven't changed

I even got a 255s and still didn't fix it. I ran a 10k in 35 and a 5k in 16 but it says 18 mins and my v02 will not go up at all from 65. I've had it at 68 last year and I feel fitter than 65 right now.

Never get productive anymore either yet ny easy pace is faster now and my intervals

Same problem here. After The last few updates my V02 max is still decreasing. Even if I put myself to the test and push my running training very hard, there’s no way I can get an increase in my V02 max…

I have the exact same issue.
I did manage to make it reach Productive 5 times since then though.
But the race predictor is not working as expected.
Even after running a sub 40 10k twice, the predictor still predicts a 10k time above 40 minutes.
I ran a 1:24 for the Half recently and the predictor is still at 1:29.

I think I'm going to try resetting the watch.

Read this before you hard reset, maybe its useful

Thanks S.M.R., an update. Even after the reset, my predictions are the same.
So the reset didn't really help.
I hope someone from Garmin can take a look at this issue.

Same issue for me:

The watch gives me a VO2max value of 50, but I have a fitness level that with the previous software would have been around 53.

Every run I see performance condition from +1 to +5 but the VO2max increases very slowly and I get mostly maintaining training status. It took about one month for the VO2max to go from 49 to 50.

Race predictions are also wrong, for the 5k I get 22:11 but I run a Parkrun in 21:55 at the beginning of March when the prediction was 23:05. In the meanwhile l trained almost daily and I believe I should be below 21:10.
