Can anyone answer why training load goes down significantly after a day of rest? Seems like a stupid way to measure training load on rest days and makes it so you’re not really gaining much from your training. Despite working with nothing but hills, which is a whole other topic that Garmin doesnt appear to account for when giving you a training effect score.
If you rest you will not log any training load which will decrease your acute training load so that is how it should work.
"Acute load is formulaically a weighted sum of all training from the past week…

You mean that your training load is the same regardless…
I thought you stopped using Garmin 2 months ago. 
I’ve since dumped my Fenix in the ocean, improved my stress and went with a coros.

You mean that your training load is the same regardless whether you rest or train? That sounds even more stupid to me

It does account for it as long as the hill training requires more intensive effort (higher HR, higher respiratory rate, lower HRV,...)
