I just had a hard 3h ride, as it was my tempo day. After 10-20 min warm up, I was constantly above Z3 - on the climb (15km), I was in between zone 3-4 constantly.
Apart from warm up and cool down, my only zone 2 was downhill .Overall, 75% of the ride was in zone 3 and 4 - yet Garmin says it is base :(
Quite frustrating, as I am trying to use Garmin coach - and it now recommends a threshold workout today, which i know I can't do, because I went full gas yesterday.
Not the first time it happened, many rides count as base - which then makes Garmin workout plan useless.
How is this computed? What would a threshold workout look like?
