Fitness Age and resting heartrate - calculation is wrong

I've got the problem, that the garmin calculates my fitness age five years too high, because my "resting HR" is always the average heartrate of my last ride! I added the resting HR manually in Garmin Connect (and it was transferred to the 1040) but after my ride today, it still said: "your resting heartrate is 132".

Second problem - in the app I set my "weekly intensity goal" to 350 - but the garmin still says "your goal is 150"! How can I change it?

Thank you.

Stefan

Oh I neglected to say the punch line: Garmin now says my FA is 71!! I’m insulted!

Worse is that in the old version of the app with no changes in me, my fitness age was 21. I was always proud of that!! VO2 max 45.

Wish my fitness age was 21 again!!!!! Struggling at 72 and the 1040 says I am FA 70.

For 5 months ago you say u looking as bout this issue but nothing is happened why ? Not everyone has a device to watch the rest heartbeat this is the way you can use a manuell number but u don’t calculate with this
