Still no training status!

So 3 weeks of running, road biking and mountain biking... and still no training status. Can't figure would what's the deal. I'm coming from decades of Polar and lately Suunto software and watches, so I'm pretty new to Garmin. Watch says to run outdoors with heart rate twice. Yea, did that lol. I've got stuff like VO2 max and training load numbers. At the end of each ride or run I'm getting training effect for aerobic and anaerobic which is cool, but no overall training status.

    +1 for no training status...

    I've optimal training load and vo2 max ... with 47 hours recovery recommend.....but no training status?
    This started for me a few weeks ago.


    Count your blessings. That feature is useless. If you are experienced and know your training abilties and their effects, Garmin Training Status will alternatively frustrate you, piss you off or make you question what you're doing.
  • Just phoned Garmin England......and apparently I'm the first person to phone about the " No status " issue...I've reported the bug now.....but nothing will be done, as they need more people to contact them about the issue, so they believe its my issue.....even after pointing them to these forums ( which he'd never heard of lol) and this thread.
  • That's good news FLATCOAT.... Could you go into more detail... what empty screen... Cheers.

  • It's taken awhile for my Fenix to begin to show Training Status. I use primarily Trail Running, MTB and Road Cycling and SUP for activities. Was under the impression early on since watch displayed a VO2max that was good for my age (62) and changing, it was accurate, but as has been mentioned on this forum, not 100% the case. So added in a few days every couple of weeks of straight Run activity just at first to see what I was missing. Immediately bumped up my VO2max a couple of numbers. Also it showed a Progressing screen in Training Status and shown as the green bar in the attached image. Note the image is about 1 year of daily use since I bought the watch. First of July had major surgery and soon after I reset the watch as I thought I had connectivity issues. That dropped the watch back to a baseline start where it took awhile to gain data for the results. In any case, it's now showing Maintaining for me and has shown blue for Recovery last week and back to Maintaining. So the upshot is add straight Run as an activity or maybe a chest strap for cycling or a power meter. Run is simpler if you can stand it. Once there is adequate data and I am back to straight Trail Running is updating Training Status on the watch. Be patient it seems.

    On a side not posting images is one huge PIA on this site. Only way I could get full images and not postage stamps was from a hosted server and choosing embed code w/o html tags, then deselecting the file be hosted locally.

  • Why my Fenix 5 Plus continues to show me not productive??? Where am i wrong?
  • I'm also without a training status despite running outside with GPS on at least 3 times a week. I'm following one of Jeff's training plans.  V frustrating.  Using Fenix 6S Pro
