Intense 300 Minutes Badge Missing After Marathon

I ran two separate marathons, both over 5 hours in time and intensity, and the 300 intense minutes badge was not applied to either activity.

    Can you look at the graph Time in HR Zones, and tell us how many minutes did you spend in the orange and red zones (Z4 & Z5)?

    Sure!

    For Activity on 1/15/17:

    3:56:42 in Zone 5 & 1:36:54 in Zone 4

    For Activity on 1/01/17:

    2:02:30 in Zone 5 & 3:28:43 in zone 4

    Well, the time in zones looks all right, but all the graphs of the activity are weird - It looks like you have run 2½ hours, then stopped for 182 hours (that's more than one week!), and then completed the run in some 3 hours. I am afraid this may be the reason. I doubt that it could count as a single activity.

    Technically taken, if the time axis corresponds to the reality, this was no marathon run either, and the Marathon badge you received for it, is undeserved.

    BTW, the description of the 300 Intensity Minutes badge tells it quite clearly:

    "300 Intensity Minutes in a day."

    So if they write "in a day", they certainly did not mean "in a week" (or even more than that). I am afraid you'll have to make a bit more effort (or cheat harder) to get the badge

    I don’t understand what you are meaning on the graphs, or why data would be “distorted” to give you that impression. Are you an official Garmin tech, that can truly help, because you’re feedback is not very helpful.

    I’m not clear on what your explanation on the time zones mean. No doubt I ran two separate Marathon’s, both in ONE day for each activity recorded. Also have my race bibs, medals, and official race data to prove it. Thus, I don’t appreciate you insinuating otherwise. I clearly understand what a marathon is defined as. I think I’ll wait for an official Garmin tech to answer my question.

    This is a community forum, not a Garmin support site.

    It should be helpful in the sense that it explains you why you did not receive the badge. That was your question, and I believe I answered it correctly.

    I don’t understand what you are meaning on the graphs, or why data would be “distorted” to give you that impression.

    Scroll with the mouse over the graph - you can easily see, that it is over 185 hours long. That is more than a week. Except of a very short sections of 2-3 hours at the very beginning and the very end, the graphs are perfectly flat. It suggests that you started the run for 2-3 hours, then paused, waited a week, and restarted again to complete the second half a week later.

    If it is not the case, you need to explain why there is such a discrepancy in the time, whether you had problems with time settings of the watch, or whether you imported the activity from an external file, or another reason why the run is not recorded in one chunk.

    I will seek Garmin directly for help regarding Badges. If I mistook this site as one that provides direct help from Garmin, then that was my mistake. I don’t need to explain anything to you, nor will I defend whatever data you are “reading” into that I find error with. Your tone was totally uncalled for. Garmin itself has replied  on system glitches it has had to fix, for badges not received on activities of its consumers. They have responded with various work arounds to get the data to sync. No need for you to reply. Again your comments are antagonistic and not helping. I will seek an ACTUAL Garmin tech who can help me with this issue.
