Effective VO2 Max

tommytortoise

Hello RA. Currently in the middle of a marathon training block. So far Garmin, Training Peaks, Strava and Intervals.icu like how my training is going. Runalyze hates how my training is going. My VO2 max is sinking like a stone. I'm guessing my settings are somehow incorrect?

I'm following a plan and hitting all my paces. Haven't missed a run or a biking cross training. Yet my stocks are plummeting!

Any ideas?

The effective VO2max is a somehow simple ratio of pace and heart rate. Maybe there are some other reasons why this ratio drops? Do you run in hot conditions the last weeks? Or maybe there are only a few single activities with very bad values (see single dots in running performance status view)?

What kind of indicators do you have (from those other platforms) that your training is going well? How do they show an actual performance improvement?

Yes, it has been warmer during recent runs. I'm not familiar with single dot runs. Other platforms shows my fitness improving, projected finish times improving.
