Lost Training Load in 2 days ride

It had occurred at audax ride of 400km, during Saturday to Sunday.

*Steps*

1. Kept recording across 2 days.
2. In day 2 at the point 370km, I had stopped a recording to rest and power off the Edge without save/discard.
3. I had turned on the Edge and restart riding.
4. In the end of a ride, I had stopped recording and saved it.

*Result*

Low Training Effect and Low Training Load was displayed.

TE

It seems to be lose the Load recorded before Step 2.

at Edge 530 for ASIA v5.50

  • I'm having the same problem (running FW 6.00). I've found that it's caused by interrupting & resuming the activity (to save some battery when my activity is paused - e.g. during a lunch).

    In my case, I have two different activities and the second one (longer, more intensive) has significantly lower Training Effect and Exercise Load just because I've interrupted the activity 2 km before its end.

    ACTIVITY 1

    • Distance: 24,31 km
    • Avg Speed: 18,8 kmph
    • Elev. Gain: 453 m
    • Avg/Max Heart Rate: 148 / 176 bpm
    • Calories Burned: 882
    • Est. Sweat Loss: 914 ml White check mark
    • Training Effect: 4,1 / 2,6 White check mark
    • Exercise Load: 251 White check mark

    ACTIVITY 2

    • Distance: 33,29 km (HIGHER White check mark) ... 31 + 2 km after interrupting the activity 
    • Avg Speed: 19,6 kmph (HIGHER White check mark)
    • Elev. Gain: 592 m (HIGHER White check mark)
    • Avg/Max Heart Rate: 144 / 183 bpm (SIMILAR White check mark)
    • Calories Burned: 1050 (HIGHER White check mark)
    • Est. Sweat Loss: 39 ml (??? Rage)
    • Training Effect: 0,2 / 0,0 (ALMOST ZERO!!! Rage)
    • Exercise Load: 4 (ALMOST ZERO!!! Rage)

    This is definitely caused by interrupting & resuming the activity.

    I've contacted Garmin Support and asking them to fix this. I'll keep you posted when I get any response.

  • And the same would happen when a device is restarted during the activity :-/ See also related post:

  • Thank you for your information.
    This is the same problem.

    I tried to no interrupting and no resuming in the next Audax 600km ride.
    Then, there was no unnaturally lower value.

    But, This result revealed another problem.
    The new activity has recorded Monday to Tuesday without interrupting.
    Its load was treated as Tuesday activity.


    It is may difficult to distinct an activity is crossing the day.

  • It happened to me yesterday ! (2y later???)

    Edge 530, software 9.40

    I've stopped activity and powered off Garmin, coz didn't connect to power meter, after turning on, my activity was of course there and when i started to continue, my Load was 0 !!  (before powering off was above 200 already!)
