Wahoo X + Garmin 830 no anaerobic benefit

I track my training status, which has recently been indicating a high anaerobic shortage. In an effort to get my hr up in the winter, when my hr is typically lower on outdoor rides, I got a Wahoo Kickr and hooked it up. I rode a threshold ride of +/- FTP intervals, and my hr was up around LT for most of the ride. Exactly what I wanted. However, there is "no anaerobic benefit" from the ride, and it is measuring a base ride. I expected a tempo for this one.

I'm thinking there is something not connected correctly, but not sure what.

Devices:

- quarq connected to 830 and Wahoo X

- eTap connected to 830 only

- garmin heart strap connected to 830 only

First of all verify that your zones in the 830 are set correctly for yourself. HR zones are best set from your LTHR and the default Garmin HR zone boundaries are not very good. You can change them to whatever you like.

My bike LTHR was blood tested at 155. The zone limits are pretty much what the test indicated.

I’ve been riding with this 830 and zones for years, and this indoor setup with the wahoo is the first time I’ve ever seen a zero anaerobic benefit. Even on an easy recovery ride it will register something.
