Why is my training load from a zwift activity doubled up in my total training load ?

i did a zwift ride that had a load of 274 , but the total training load was boosted by like 500. When I ride on the trainer I have my watch paired to zwift via virtual run activity, but when I'm done I discard the virtual run. Does anybody know how to correct this or adjust the training load to bring it back down ?

    Hello, had thé same issue while recording à zwift ridé and having m'y edge 820 just as another display... Discarded activity at the end but.... Training load count as double and even  the recovery time... It looks like even if you discard, some metrics are recorded. Raised a ticket, no reply received...

    My experience  is that any activities including those which are discarded and not saved by the watch create an Exercise Load in itself.

    I know it, because I tested it using different sports app and even a started activity with “Track me” (!)  app created a bar on my watch (Training Status/Exercise Load), even if I did not record it, but simply discarded it after stopping the activity.

    It is tricky, because you cannot see those bars of unsaved activities under Exercise Load on GCM/GC web. Neither as a bar, nor as a row in the list below, since they were not saved, so not transferred to GC.

    Finally I am not sure, but tend to think that since the watch calculates Training Load and not GC, that these unsaved activities have an impact on the total TL, both Chronic and Acute.
