Edge 850 - All Daily Suggested Workouts are Rest Days

7797872

I have a Venu 4 which I get DSWs on, and a little over a week ago I bought an Edge 850. My Training Status populated the first day I had it, but so far the only DSWs it's given me are Rest Days....

The documentation says "If you have not established a Training Status, complete a week's worth of activities with heart rate and power data to establish a Training Status. Once a Training Status is established you will receive Daily Suggested Workouts."

I waited over a week, just in case, but it's still giving me nothing other than rest days. As far as I can tell I have everything configured correctly, and I'm not using the Coach feature. I've found a few posts with similar issues, but not really any working solutions. Has anyone else seen this behavior/found a fix?

    the problem is likely that unified training status is completely broken with the 850. because you have a venu, that needs to cooperate with the 850 and unfortunately my experience (with a fr965) is that this does not work.

    and garmin support have acknowleged it as a software bug but no update on actually fixing it. standard garmin software quality - claimed features that are like they've never been tested at all and bug-ridden software for months after launch.

    you can use the DSW from your venu however be aware that sometimes at least the recovery need and/or training load from activities on your 850 will not be taken into account there either.

    we'd be better of with an 840, *** my 530 worked better until it died of old age. garmin have taken a huge step backwards with unified training status
