Change activity from run to hike and revert VO2 max calculation in Connect?

Is there a way to change activity type from running to hiking, that will reverse the VO2 max calculation in garmin?

I did a hike yesterday, activity was a run and it killed my VO2 max from 54 to 51. I tried changing the activity from a run to hike in the connect app but it doesn’t revert the VO2 max to my previous number.

I know the running activity will change your vo2 max and hiking will not.

I don't think you can undo the VO2max determination. A new run activity should get it right back up, assuming conditions are good and you're performant. The Trail Running activity also won't compute VO2max or Performance Condition.

No, its calculated on saving the activity.

It will stay there until you record a new run activity.

No it won't but a new run should get it right back.

Personal experience : my bpm sensor went nut during a slow recovery run. I was on slow easy breathing 5:50/km. The sensor wrongly identified a 175bpm and therefore took away one point of vo2max. The same evening I had an interval run and got it back right away.
