Intense 300 Minutes Badge Missing After Marathon

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:

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.

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.

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.
