I've made 3 run in four days (37km), but my "Training Load" continues to fall. It's now (336) and "Current Status" shows peaking. Does anyone encountered the same problem?
From the screenshot, I can see a couple of reasons:
1. Your VO2Max has increased over that period. A higher VO2Max will give you a lower Training Load figure for the same run at the same pace. 2. Training Load is for a rolling 7 days, with workouts from 7 days ago dropping out at midnight. The Training Load graph shows a sharp spike about a week ago (presumably a hard run?) - the decrease in TL as this drops out of the 7 day window would account for this.
Thank you for the answer! But I feel that my athletic condition is not as good as the numbers shows it. I think my VO2 number rose because my HRM-TRI strap broke and during the last three runs I used only wrist measurement which shows a pulse slightly lower than it actually is. I'm running a year round with a constant mileage and such a combination of Training load, Current status and VO2 seems to me incorrect.
To be honest, I wouldn’t put to much weight in Garmin’s training status. Training Peaks has a much more accurate stress score from your activities that will give a definitive answer to undertraining, overtraining, and maintaining.
