V02 Max and Training Status not working

Hi There.

For some reason I can't get a cycling VO2 Max reading on my 1030 and therefore get a Training Status.

I train 20 hours a week or more with at least 3 sessions a week with periods of 10 minutes or greater at 70% HRMax or greater.

The last reading I got was 27 June, nothing since then.

I also have a Vivosport and everything seems to be the same and synced. I get at least three VO2 Max's from walking three times a week on this, but they don't seem to talk to each other even though TrueUp is enabled.

I have had several searches on here, but can't seem to find an answer.

It is very frustrating.

Is you power meter connected? https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/edge520/EN-US/GUID-69FFE8B8-E6A6-4D94-868C-04F0DEC59107.html

Same here...power meter and heart both paired and working. Don’t think I have seen a vo2 max in 8 months.

No issues here with VO2Max; seems to give me a measuremnet fairly reliably (clearly I have no means of knowing if the measurement itself is reliable, but the trend is going in the direction I feel my fitness is).

But (as I've posted elsewhere)... Training Status seems a bit of a shambles. For the first few weeks, it seemed to work brilliantly. When I did more, Training Load went up and status warned me that I may be over-reaching. When I did less it came back down to Maintaining or Productive and when I took a break it said Peaking.

Then, for no obvious reason, that's stopped being the case. Hard week or easy week, Training Load value is near at the bottom of the indicated optimal range (which therefore is dropping every couple of weeks) and Training Effect is random when it's there (hard weeks show as Unproductive, Productive, Recovery, Peaking or Maintaining; seemingly at random), but approx. 1 ride day in 3 is just blank. And some days I haven't ridden have a value (again, at random).

I'm genuinely surprised these boards aren't full of people talking about it, but equally can't see how this could just be me?

I was pleasantly surprised when the vivoactive 3 vo2max was only 2.5 pts under a treadmill test as part of an echocardiogram/ stress test the other day.

Same here, I used to get a Traning Status, but since 30-40 days the status is "Unavailable". Why ?
