Heat acclimation since update to 11.10

Is anyone else having issues with heat acclimation since updating to 11.10? This past weekend, I ran one hour at 82 degrees and my acclimation percentage dropped. Today I ran 55 minutes at 75 degrees, and my heat acclimation percentage dropped again. (I’m also wondering whether this might affect VO2 Max, which fell today — or maybe I was just tired.).

You must be training with an outside temperature over 23 deg celsius to have an impact on the heat acclimation. 75 is only 23,9 and 82 27,8 deg celsius - not really high values and also it depends on the intensity of your training. The heat acclimation doesn't always increase just because it's slightly >23 deg outside. For me personally, the values seemed correct. I did lots of intense workouts at >>30 deg celsius this summer and I reached 100% then after some days. The value then decreases very quickly once the outside temperatures drop.

Thanks. I understand the parameters. (Garmin Connect says temps higher than 72 degrees). In any event, my recent experience was inconsistent with my past experience and followed the update, which is why I asked.
