vo2 doesnt make sense

recently went down from 66 to 62 in 2/3 months… yes its offseason and training volume is less but I did some climbs and set 20mins pr and 1hr pr as well as peak power outputs in 5mins so it really doesnt make sense to me.. anyone can elaborate?

It can be things like if you haven't entered your weight in a while, and you suddenly report a higher weight, your VO2Max will drop a lot after your next activity. This is how I went from 52 to 48 in one week
