All,
I use an Apple Watch to track my workouts. Here is a chart of my VO2 Max over the year. Note the big decline.
While I understand that using a fitness tracker like an Apple Watch is not as accurate as taking a true lab test, it is the trend that I am more concerned about.
I was training for a Spartan race and running a lot prior to January on this chart and ran almost every other day.
Since January, I have rarely ran and have practiced S&S with a heavier bell.
Is this decline normal?
This came up because I did a 4mi run and was winded after 2 miles.
