Training Load and Training Status not updating

Hello,


I'm currently using a Garmin Edge 1040 with firmware version 25.24. I've been unable to update to version 26.18, and I'm unsure if this is related to my current problem.


I always use a Garmin HRM during my rides, and I consistently ride 3 to 4 times a week with a power meter. Normally, after finishing a ride and syncing with Garmin Connect, my activities upload successfully, and both my aerobic and anaerobic training effects are displayed correctly.


However, starting a few days ago, although my rides are uploaded properly and the aerobic/anaerobic effects still appear as expected, my training load and training status are no longer updated. Additionally, my VO2 Max is not updated either.


Has anyone else encountered this issue? Are there any known solutions or troubleshooting steps I can take? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

  • I've seen the same thing with March 25 being the last day with an update.  I have an Edge 840 with HRM, speed, and cadence.  No power meters.  Also wear a Vivoactive 5 but don't really use it for recording activities outside of daily health monitoring and the occasional auto tracked walk, usually less than half a mile at a time.  I've never done a VO2 max test and assume it just used whatever data I gave it from cycling without a power meter, or from my watch's health stats/auto track walks.  Now maybe I just haven't had a tracked walk in a long enough time, but even still in the past it would update after cycling.  So not sure if they have updated it to require power meters or somehow it just magically worked for me until now.

    Also, in regards to training load mine still seems fine.  VO2 max even without power meters shows on the graph for 12w and 6m, but for 4w it's just a single dot on March 12.
