      @Frederick-Rochette so, most likely as stated above: the FirstBeat algo did not like your workout enough to update VO2max… 😢

        @Egika However, I had a different data almost every time I went out with my S9P, so I don’t understand what’s going on. In any case, no one here is able to find me a solution, just give me generalities and try to show me that I’m using my watch incorrectly.
        However, it seems obvious that there is a problem of estimation with this SV.
        Am I the only one to have identical data after each run or do you have different data, even with very little difference?

          While your basic concern is the “stuck” value, I think those generalities make sense to discuss anyway. Some very good remarks regarding VO2max in this thread 👍

          Regarding your identical values question: Yes, I have those as well sometimes. That’s what I meant in my comment above:
          “Regarding the “stuck” values:
          I found that the watch just keeps the old value, if data collected was not enough for a new calculation.”

          It is not your individual watch, but a systematic thing.
          For me, the values are not always stuck though. That’s why I suspect the FirstBeat algorithm to not accept every workout. But you are right. It’s just educated guessing here.

            @Frederick-Rochette Ihave also a Vertical and with me the data changes a little bit every time i completed a training, it is not stuck as you can see.
            When i am training for a marathon the value wil rise bij maby two or tree points or soba642232-70ad-4770-a6bc-1ab0b529545c-1698320964787.jpg image url)

                    @Frederick-Rochette you’ll get a new VO2max algorithm in few weeks for what I heard.

                      Seems to work for me. vo2max can be improved, of course, but you don’t change it a lot easily or quickly. It’s a long term work.
                      Large drop for me in may (S9B=>SV switch), and then it progressivly came back to my « average values ».

                                This is potentially not really an issue as we have been told the algo is changing yes?

                                Always carry a flaggon of whiskey for snakebite; and furthermore, always carry a small snake.

                                  As you can see vo2 max varies and I’m not stucked. But as you can see too I have lower levels when there is much ascend. So this is something to think of.
