I run 3-5 times a week for about 40 minutes. Should my cardiofitness improve within a month, or is this a really slow process?

    It seems like the way apple watch measures this is not very reliable. My VOmax and cardiofitness differs a lot. I don’t have the saturation function though.

    To the fit people on here: you think the data and stats are accurate?

      I am not “fit” but I do work out regularly. My VO2 max has dropped significantly since I had an ablation for AFib, which is so wild to me bc after the initial recovery I have been working out for months again now and I thought doing really well. So technically just looking at the numbers mine was above average before the procedure when my heart was all over the place and I routinely had to stop due to shortness of breath, but now it’s low even though I maintain a nice elevated heart rate during exercise and bounce back well, no shortness of breath. All that to say I love my watch but agree the algorithm must not be the most reliable in this aspect.
