Assuming the 935 is identical to the Fenix 5 with regards the Run and Trail…
Doubt it is that simple. Anyway on most "trail" runs I have done your speed is vastly influenced by not just elevation but what you find under your feet and/or have to swerve round. In other words you…
Trail Run inhibits the calculation of VO2 Max and LTHR.
You’re not any ‘less fit’ because you’re VO2max estimate is based off a a combination of trail and road runs. It’s only a number. It does affect bragging rights though.
Given VO2Max feeds into so many of the other Firstbeat metrics, a reasonably accurate number is more than just bragging rights.

Remember, where there are two distinct functions [font="Book Antiqua"]f(x,y)[/font], and [font="Book Antiqua"]g(x,y,z)[/font], the assertion that function [font="Book Antiqua"]f[/font], “feeds into” function [font="Book Antiqua"]g[/font] would not be logically true, unless you can refactor function [font="Book Antiqua"]g[/font] to contain function [font="Book Antiqua"]f[/font] in its formulation.
