Here is something that really puzzles me: The training load seems way off for hiking activities compared to running for example.
Scenario 1: I am hiking all day, 15km in strenuous terrain, 1000m up, 1000m down, 7h walking time, 25 degrees (more in the sun). Training load according to Garmin: 18, revovery time of 3h.
Scenario 2: I am running 8km in the park, moderate pace of 5:20. Training load: 120, recovery time 20h.
Something is very wrong here. The hiking activity is MUCH more strenuous than the jog in the park. I understand that it is (partially?) based on heart rate (which is surely higher when running then when hiking), but still? Shouldnt other factors (like altitude meters covered, time and distance) also play a role?
