Training Load From Other Devices

Hi Garmin Edge users,

I have a question regarding the Training Load metric on the Edge 530. Currently I have an ageing 520 and after a quick tour of Wahoolia I am contemplating a return to Garmin and thinking about getting a 530.

However if I still used the 520 for my commutes and the 530 for training and racing will the activities from the 520 get accounted for on the 530?

Yes I am sure. The 520 does not calculate Training Load, EPOC, aerobic and aerobic effect.

This is exclusive for the newer devices a d it is calculated on the device the effort is recorded.

Training load is calculated on the device itself. So no training load from the 520.

Are you sure?

So how come you see it in the Connect application?

I think you're mistaken.

The 520 calculates TSS, though.

The 520 does not give me any of the training load metrics, which I'm ok with as the unit is so long in the tooth. However if through the magic of True Up or Physio True Up the 530 saw the rides would that then calculate any training load? Or does it only see a summary of previous workouts and nothing more?

Soory, no. The Numbers are calculated in the recording devicd and the distributed via true up.
