Intensity minutes not added from bike workout with edge 520 plus

Former Member over 5 years ago

Why does my time spent on the bike using a new garmin edge 520 plus not contribute towards my weekly intensity minutes?

I did a 2hr cycle this week, while wearing HR monitor, and still no evidence of this ride in the intensity minutes. It does show other places in garmin connect just not in intensity minutes.

You did not get any intensity minutes at all, or was it just less than you would expect?

It looks as though I got around 30 intensity minutes for that day, (but I did also do a yoga class!)

My heart rate was split mainly in zone 2 and zone 3 on the ride, is there a heart rate at which intensity minutes are achieved? Maybe my hr was not high enough to get more minutes..

Yes, you have only 10 minutes in the Z4, and nothing in Z5, so the 30 minutes for the day sound right.

Ah thankyou for explaining!

BTW, I do not know what your age is, but the HR zones seem to be set relatively high. Could be all right if you are 20, but seems a bit too high if you are older.
