Optimal Training load shifted down alot. Why?

When the optimal training load moved down alot it might be the moment I swapped from the vivoactive 3 to epix 2. But why did itdo that.

Now I'm in serious overtraining but a few weeks ago that would have been in my optimal range.

For info: The days my training went down I haven't been training because I have been sick.

Any ideas? My Bodybattery is at 98 today, my training readiness is ok, I get daily workouts suggested.

Everything else says ready for training. Just this page shows trainingload is far to high.

These ‘optimal’ bands are calculated on last 4 weeks of workload, so if it suddenly has significantly been adjusted down, it likely means a period of higher workload 4 weeks earlier has ‘aged out’ of the 28 days calculation.

Is it possible that the new algorithm is ignoring my previous activitys completely? Chronic Load is shown the moment the lower band starts. It seems like it's calculating from the moment I started using the epix2 and that's when I got sick. So the epix just knows my couple of days doing nothing at all and then ramping up very fast.

So the solution is to just ignore it for the next 3 weeks and then everything is back in order?

It shouldn’t be ignoring your previous activity. When I changed watches last time, the Epix2 started with the values where previous watch finished. In fact, in the overlapping period I can see the data presented by both watches:

The vivoactive 3 can't do training load and metrics like that. I always synced with my, edge 530 afterwards to get at least some numbers.

Maybe that is why it worked for you but not for me. Because the forerunner was already able to do all that.

yes would just ignore as probably struggling to keep up with you at the moment - but also worth considering whether you are also maybe pushing too hard - has body had enough time to recover....

I see the Load Ration tab is available in your screen. Can I ask you the sw version of your watch? Is it the current beta being tested?
