Training Effect manual activity

A manual Activity always shows a Training Effect of 5.0 and very high training load. I don‘t add Heart Rate or other Information, just distance and time for keeping track of my overall cycling distance. It started a few weeks ago, before it did not change training load and did not have a training effect. Why does it happen and can I change it afterwards? Even if I delete the activity training load stays very high.

I cannot answer your questions, but have one too - why are you recording activities manually, and not with your watch? Sure, it should work properly anyway, but if you can avoid the problem, it may be better doing so. I have 7 thousands activities logged in my Connect account, and not a single one was entered manually. I simply use my watch for recording them.

I want to keep track of my overall cycling distance and dont always wear my watch.

Well, if you do not wear the watch 24/7, and especially not during all your activities, then the performance metrics like the training effect, training load, or training status are pretty inaccurate and completely useless for any serious training purposes anyway, so in your place I would not bother about it too much. But if you do, and want to have it changed, I recommend reaching out to the Product Support through their website at https://support.garmin.com, and reporting it to them.
