This is my VO2 max over the last few months. I’ve been in terrible shape for a long time, bet you can’t guess when I started running. I can’t believe how much more fun running is when you learn how to do it first!

This is a mystery to me. My weight has gone up and down a bunch.
When I lose weight, this typically looks worse. I think it’s because the algorithm it uses is based on how fast and far your heart rate drops. My exercise routine is easier when I’m not carrying all that weight so my heart rate doesn’t get as high. Also it comes down quite a bit as I do the cool down. So when I stop for good, there is not as much of a drop - hence the poor score.
I am thinking that these are the reasons I see this odd trend, but I’m not sure.
