Garmin, Team
I recently recorded the same bike ride using both - Garmin Edge 1040S and the Garmin EPIX Gen2
The setup:
Garmin Edge 1040S - latest sw. 23.10 (auto start/stop enabled) (https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/16331946793)
- Garmin Speed sensor
- Garmin Cadence sensor
- Garmin HR Duo strap sensor
Result says benefit is: Base
2.9 Aerobic
2.4 Anaerobic
84 exercise load
Garmin EPIX Gen2 - lastest sw. 17.28 (https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/16353949502)
- no sensors connected (just running the watch with the same auto start/stop)
Result says benefit is: Sprint
3.0 Aerobic
2.6 Anaerobic
97 exercise load
HR, distance, speed, av speed are very much the same, calories, etc .. - small discrepancies that I believe to be acceptable.
Is this training effect discrepancy within acceptable results ?
Thanks
