I am getting a Tempo instead of Base

hmaier 1 month ago

Hello all,

Recently (have no clue what triggered this) all my training data just became erratic.

This morning I did a 8k run with a avg pace of 5:45/km.

My avg HR was 155bpm and Max HR 161 bpm

How do you explain this?

It gave me a Tempo training effect because I spent 82% of the time in zone 4 - 163-171bpm

However if you have a look at the Lap stats, I've never surpassed 161 bpm

This is driving me crazy ? WTF is going on ?

Suggest you contact support so they can investigate

Also maybe load in the "watch model" forum maybe someone else has similar

I use a HRM Pro+ for all my runs with a Fenix 7x Pro Solar

Try load the comment in the Fenix 7 area of the forum as well , maybe someone else there has similar issues or has a solution. Probably gets more traffic.

I've used the support chat for some issues and sometimes got success in getting an answer.

there were some reports of wrongly calculated zones if someone used BPM or %hrr as a reference - if I remember well. try setting running hr by %max hr or lthr and see if it helps? resetting zones won't harm either

I use a HRM.Pro+ and I have heart rate zones based on %LTHR

to have a more stable metrics, choose Max BPM heart rate, because lactate changes frecuently, its depends on how much you use your watch and how long in time
