Despite seeing very solid progress, my watch keeps reporting that my overall training is "unproductive", and after each session it concludes that my VO2max has "worsened" (despite also reporting that the run had a positive effect on it).

#Garmin, you're supposed to cheer me on and not punish me for getting my butt out the door! 😂

This seems to be a well known issue among users. The training status metrics apparently don't reflect reality at all.

@garritfra the same happened to me too. After a while it started to level off and then rise. I think the uncertainty is the dominant effect for the first N runs/months, and then (I'm hoping) it becomes believable eventually.

@garritfra mine says I'm "overreaching" all the time 😂 even though I feel fine...

The VO2Max calculation Garmin uses has speed built into the formula. So when I run downhill I am doing great. My normal running is unproductive most of the time.
If you are running track or shorter distances on flat road I think it would be great.
