9 Reasons Why Your VO2 Max Dropped—And How to Boost It Up Again

That sinking feeling when you finish a great run, look at your watch, and see your VO2 max has dropped? 📉 Don't panic! Your watch is smart, but it's not telling you the whole story. It’s giving you an *estimate*, and it can get easily confused. Running in the summer heat or tackling that killer hill makes your heart work harder, which your watch often misinterprets as a drop in fitness. It's not – you're just working hard! Remember, the numbers on a screen can't measure the feeling of accomplishment or the mental boost from a run. Trust the effort, not just the data. How often do you ignore your watch and just run for the joy of it? #VO2max #RunningTips #RunnerProblems #Garmin #UKRunChat #WhyRun #TrustTheFeeling
