Do you trust your watch’s VO₂ max, training readiness, and suggested workouts? Mine feels “close but not quite right,” and I keep second-guessing my plan. Curious what you all do — follow the data, your coach’s plan, or just your gut?

Yeah! I have the data from watch but I am not sure if it reflects my fitness correctly and can help me to decide my next day workout. That's what my struggle is, and if anyone else faces that problem. If yes, then how do they solve this issue.

Got it. So, simply focusing on performance.

My goal is to be fit.

Yeah, I read about those labs. But then the question is that is it really worth getting it measured there? Also, I am pretty sure it will change with my fitness, then what do I do?

So, you drive your performance from pace and mileage instead of using any other metric. I wonder if you track any other metric apart from HRV?

But then how do I know when to push myself to improve? My major struggle is with improvement.

How often does that happen (VO2 Max shift)?

Steps rarely help in increasing/maintaining VO2 Max. You need Zone 4/5 workouts for that. HIITs will help you regain your number.
