Hi,
Is there a way to do the opposite of combining activities into a multisport activity?--
Convert a multisport activity into separate activities by legs?
I use a Garmin Instinct 2, HRM Pro+, Running Dynamics Pod w/ a backup Vivofit 4. My main activity was about 45 minutes of Cardio, which was actual intense kickboxing/martial arts training, and I changed sport to end of with some cooldown windsprints and a cooldown walk.
My main activity recorder 3.3 Tempo 98 Load of Hi Aerobic, but thanks to the cooldown windsprints and cooldown walk, it recorded a single low aerobic load 106, instead of a 98 load of hi aerobic, and the rest low aerobic. I don't care about low aerobic. Now I'm about to start getting "High Aerobic Shortage messages" when 98% of the activity was Hi aerobic, the data is recorded as a 98 Hi Aerobic load, but it added no hi aerobic load like it should.
Please help me out. Its frustrating to do an hour of threshold and maximum activity with an average pulse of 165 (Im 47, so 100% at 173), have the main leg record an accurate hi aerobic load through the roof, but bc I put in some sprints & a cooldown walk by using change sport, it records 1 long low aerobic load and no hi aerobic load.
Each activity has its own load value and training effect, but the thing didn't add them to my workout load properly which is each with their own training load and effect. It added a combined ridiculous single low aerobic load.
Any help would be appreciated. I also wear a an old Fitbit, my new Fitbit broke, and I switched to Garmin bc Google bought them out, but everything is so much simpler and more accurate with Fitbit. I don't have the time to keep manually correcting Garmin excercises, or calculating the physics and math calculations myself, as I am a theoretical physicist and mathematician by training working in the Cybersecurity field, especially when it comes to stationary recumbent biking or martial arts which records best going back to Garmin Connect and changing the sport to Dance Fitness.
This time I used Cardio which records everything, got the proper training loads for my intense workout, but I just had to add a few minutes of sprints and a cooldown & recorded as a multisport activity. I have really bad knees that I have to be careful not to damage, and I do many sports. I shouldn't have to run 2 miles & mess my knees up when they need rest to get high aerobic. Its also why I got an Instinct 2 which pairs perfectly with an HRM Pro+ and Running Dynamics Pod as accessories--I can do any sport, be a runner and a biker and a boxer, etc.
Sorry for the frustration...I love running and biking and martial arts. I just hate having to damage my knees by running knowing my knees need rest just bc I'm afraid Garmin won't record properly.
When the multisport activity finally saved and presented on my watch after I chose "Save", it also displayed on my watch properly, that I finished a multisport activity of 3.3 Tempo Hi Aerobic as I scrolled through the data. It wasn;t until I checked my phone the my exercise load was not properly added as both the my training watch/belt with Running Dynamics Pod Recorded as a Hi Aerobic activity, and the activity has the main leg 2 small legs with proper metrics.
Hopefully I'm explaining my problem properly and why I want to separate the legs. I tried to trim and just erase the last 2 legs bc I don't care about low aerobic, but I get the "A Multisport Activity must have at least 2 legs."
I have a programming background, I hope I don't have to go write a script or editor every time I do an activity other than running.
Thanks for any help.
