My Cardio Fitness has a couple of years of recorded data but seems to have stopped updating on June 4th this year. It last showed a reading of 17.9, which is a bit worrying, and I've been cycling, elliptical workouts (short) etc to try to improve but as the data isn't updating I cant see how I'm doing.
Any ideas why it stopped updating and why I can do about it. As far as I know nothing has been changed,

Hi
Thanks for your most helpful advice.
I just recorded two twenty minute walks in Apple Fitness, along our flat promenade and back, and the VO2 / Cardio Fitness was recorded this time. 17.8 > 18.6 > 19.00
Can I assume from this that VO2 / Cardio Fitness is only updated with walking and running exercises, and that cycling / elliptical trainer exercise don't cause it to update?
Will it matter than I prefer Strava these days as I find the dark night mode maps in Fitness don't suit my old eyes and I cant easily read them? Will the Cardio Fitness still update?
Thanks again
Mike
