Still getting wildly incorrect performance data in 12.23

I've never left the "maintaining" status since early July despite the wild variations. I've had my V02 max either. Race predictors haven't changed at 17:30/37:30/1:21/2:53

Except here's what has changed while running approx 1000 kms since then:

Weight: lowered on watch from 64kg to 61 (current weight)
HR: obvs dropped as I got fitter
Speed: I was doing laps at certain HRs for weeks and weeks (say 3:36/km with a HR of 169-172 for Threshold) now doing (for some weeks) like 3:22/172 (as an example)
Times: I've run 5k in 16:35 (high effort but not all out), and a half at 1:18 (@ prev training marathon pace) and I predict I will run a marathon soon around 2:35-:2:40.

Are these garmin values ever going to change? Seems like quite the bug that nothing changes.

I don't expect 100% accuracy but it'd at least nice to know that the data is live/meaningful. my performance indicator is like +4 or +5 every run. (beats the old days of -1 I guess).

No change to vo2max ?

Did you set the correct max HR value ?

Yep

Further updates to this: Ran a 2:40 marathon. Garmin still says 2:53 and others as noted. Have now run 4-5x 1:18 halfs since this period (including that race). Garmin still says 1:21 etc.

While training readiness did get to peaking (96/100) in time for the race, no change to VO2, training status. Good to know I'm still maintaining :D. Even during my zero run recovery days now I'm maintaining.

Are you not running the latest Beta versions which are "claimed" to address these issues in their change logs?

Eh I think they are close estimates.

Definitely not the beta.

Sure. If you think those are close than so is my time with the winner of the marathon ;-).

If you're referring to the half times I'm suggesting those are training runs at MP. My half time is 1:15 (from a year ago) and more like 1:13 based on training now.
