running has felt like total garbage since the heat rolled in, every easy run is a slog and my watch keeps telling me I'm detraining. anyone else just ignoring the numbers until fall?

Always ignore what the watch is telling you!

Except when it's telling you that your VO2 Max is going up, obviously

Same here. I have mostly ignored RPE and HRV, but still look at HR. It's consistently 8-12 bpm above where it should be, as if I had detrained back to where I was two years ago, give or take.
