Training load and status

Im using a combination of devices and all linked in Garmin connect. My newest addition (edge 530) when I ride outdoors the device creates a training benefit and a training load. However the same device when I ride my indoor trainer I don't get the same feedback, it's as if I didn't train at all. I use same HRM in both cases.

A further issue is that despite using 3 different devices and providing some form of training every day for over a month I am not getting any training status feedback.

Does anyone have experience in this and have any tips?

Yes it needs power but does work using indoor power trainers. I have fixed the issue it was actually a connectivity issue with my HRM. 530 needs HRM and power thats all

Not much action here, so moving to the Edge 530 forum.

I believe that the 530 and other devices need a power meter to give you Training Load, you aren't moving anywhere, so the unit can't estimate your power like it does when you are outside.
