Hello,
From what I've read it seems the newer Garmin products "learn" about your fitness. When I'm not training for anything my favorite ride type is 50-100 miles and mostly Z2/Z3 (with some Z4). It isn't uncommon for me to do a ride like this most days for a month or more. At some point when doing a really similar workout day-after-day all the Garmin/Firstbeat metrics get really skewed and stuff like training load will be low (to the point my training load for a 100 mile ride is lower than a 3 mile walk) and my Edge stops even reporting the ride status (unproductive, productive, etc...). I understand what I detailed isn't the most productive training style, but it's what I like.
I assume the "device training" takes place on Garmin Connect? I have a few different generation Garmin products with different available training metrics/features. Could this be impacting the data in some way? I have the sharing feature enabled, but that seems limited (I'm sure it works great if you upgrade your devices every year, but I don't).
Is there some sort of debug mode that allows me to see "how difficult" a ride was at a baseline vs "how difficult" it was for me based on the profile tailored to my data?
Can I reset this "learning" process back to square one without creating a new Connect account?
Thanks!
