Lactate threshold - strange results, can you help?

Hello,

Can you help me understand the results of my today's running?
My watch informed me after training that a new threshold was established:
66 beats per minute and speed is 5:30

I'm sorry if my question is a bit stupid but.... What is my lactate threshold?
I'd like to set my hr zones but I don't know what number should I put in the graph :(

Thanks for your help

It says there that your lactate threshold is 66, its measured in bpm as in at which bpm you reach it, but its obviously wrong, it cannot be 66, more like 160-170 I estimate for you.

Probably a bug, I've had the lactate threshold, RestHR, MaxHR overwritten with very low wrong values when I've entered the HR zones configuration page in the Connect app, probably what happened to you too.

Check the page that is before that one you posted, the page that shows the actual lactate threshold graph over time, and see what your last lactate threshold value is, that value should not have gotten overwritten by the bug. Use that one for the HR zones.

There is a bug, you need to add 100 to the bpm therefore 100+66 = 166bpm is your threshold HR

Bug got reported a while but has been ages since an official update has been pushed. Also if you make any changes to the user profile (eg weight) in the Garmin app then it usually overwrites these HR and LTR values again on the watch, so double check them.

Yeah, the prevous beta finally fixed the stress widget but they have gone on to the next beta now (9.10) and never officially released the prevous... don't now what the deal is...
