Lactate Threshold HR cycling in Connect App?

How you are handling different Lactate Threshold HR's for running and cycling?

for cycling and running i have different LTHR and i configured my HR-Zones with the different LTHR, so far so good, for running the detections works fine, but is there any real detection for cycling too, everything is on auto detection?

the other thing is the Lactate Threshold View in Connect, is this only for running, because it depends on running pace and HR and after cycling i can find my cycling LTHR there, but the pace is from running?

i am not the best runner, my running Threshold is 156bpm on 6:01 pace (thats the values on Forerunner 945) and my Threshold HR for cycling is 146bpm, is this graphic correct then?

i calculated the cycling HR manually, cause i have no auto detection till today, is there a auto detection at all?

HermanB do you still have an idea, or is it more Garmin inside related?

I don't really know why this is the case, but LT for cycling is FTP.

as i understand too, but in cycling we have a LTHR too, more or less a "Threshold Bike Heart Rate (THR) "
It is your current average heart rate during a steady-state 1 hour time trial and this one is mostly arround 10bpm lower then the running LTHR, when i understand it right.

in all Garmin devices you can configure your HR Zones for normal activities (sekundär), running (Laufen), cycling (Radfahren) , swimming and so on.

Thats the reason, why i configured it like follow:

for each activity types you have 3 different types to configure the zones:

% of maxHR
% of HR Reserve (HF max - Rest-HR =HFR)
% of LTHR

for walking, hiking, Strength Training, etc. the first setup is used with %maxHR

for running and cycling i used 2 different setups with LTHR, for running it is 156bm my LTHR and autodetected, both (sekundär and running) i think are working fine.

Then there is my cycling setup with LTHR of 146bpm (manually calculated), that means, it's impossible to use the cycling setup with LTHR cause it damage the LTHR of running then (it looks like)?

On Edge 830 it's also possible to change HR zone to automatic detection of LTHR too!

Could you please help me to find this out with Garmin together, you have the big knowledge of Firstbeat?

Garmin-Matthew possible you? or is it possible to adress to the correct colleague?

HermanB it helps not really, because with FTP Test for my point of view, there is a bug, it will be discused here:

https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/cycling/f/edge-830/171421/ftp-test-by-garmin-is-totally-wrong-and-not-the-standard-protocol/926517#926517c

and i think, it have something to do with this topic too?
