Does Trail Running affect the Race Predictions?

My Race Prediction on the Garmin 955 is way worse than the one on the Garmin 245. I've run a 10k in super bad conditions while still finishing 36:51, while the race prediction showed my something like 38:30. I noticed that the prediction went up as I started to do more trail running and to run/hike more climbs during my runs. May that be the cause why the predictions are so off? I've heard that trail runs don't count towards the VO2Max value anymore.

It could also explain why the Training Status is always shown as "maintaining" since I switched watches

Trail Run will not count VO2 if you disable it in activity settings. Check it.

I know. The question was whether it affect the race predictions, not VO2max

I disable vo² max on trail running however I have performance condition showing up on the summary in Garmin connect. Don't know if is a bug from this software update, because I only tried trail run with this watch today, but with my forerunner 745 with vo² disable, performance condition doesn't appear on the summary in Garmin connect
