What activities are not included in training status / acute load?

Hi team,

I have Rouvy which is linked to Strava. I also have Garmin connect which is linked to Strava. 

If I link Rouvy to Garmin, then it'd duplicate things twice. 

I have to manually import the Rouvy rides to Garmin; which works fine (export original from Strava) and it recognises as Rouvy etc. with all correct details. It is flagged as a virtual ride. 

I do big days on indoor / virtual ride trainer; and I noticed that its showing I have low load etc. and I noticed all my virtual rides weren't counting at all... 

How do I fix this? Does syncing directly to Garmin fix it? Is it virtual ride itself that doesn't count? I see some posts about Zwift not counting?

  • How to sync the Wahoo trainer twice?

    You have to sync your Garmin device twice, not the Wahoo trainer

    Hmmm, Rouvy doesn't go through garmin / use a garmin device though? 

    That's why you have to sync the Garmin device (probably your Fenix 6) twice after the activity gets uploaded to Garmin Connect from Rouvy - the first time to transfer the data from Garmin Connect to the Garmin device, where the ride is processed and the Training Status calculated, and then (after a few minutes) the second sync transfers the processed data including the Training Status back to Garmin Connect.

    The processing happens on the Garmin device, not in the Connect app, that's why the two syncs are needed. All of that assumes that you own a Garmin device, and that the device supports the feature of Training Effect. If it is Fenix 6, then it should work. And of course, the activity from Rouvy has to be already in Garmin Connect, before you start the syncing, though that should happen automatically, if you have it properly set up.
