Why does Garmin choose to think that I have run a tempo run when only 1 min was in tempo Zone 4 and 49 mins were in the aerobic Zone 3.
My Zones are set from LTHR (8:24 pace 173 BPM)

All,
Please see our recently released beta software for a fix addressing this report. If you prefer to not install this beta software, we hope to be rolling out a public software update soon, though I…
All,
After updating your watch to the recently released software containing a fix for this report, you will also want to ensure that you have your heart rate zones set correctly. This will ensure that…
Garmin options to what it is are:
Anaerobic:
Sprint
Anaerobic capacity
High aerobic:
VO2max
Threshold
Tempo
Low aerobic:
Base
Recovery
It's in Zone3, can't be low aerobic. It's not in Zone5, can't be Anaerobic. So…
If you are still seeing what you perceive as an inaccurate Training Effect after updating to 11.60, please answer the following:
Why? There's a lot of happening in zone 3 which is medium to high intensity?
I think it's just right. You have been over your aerobic threshold => Tempo. Those colors might mislead you.
Zone 1 Warmup
Zone 2 Easy
<Aerobic threshold>
Zone 3 Aerobic
Zone 4 Threshold
<Anaerobic threshold>
Zone 5 Maximum
If you want Low Aerobic aka Base/Recovery, do it under your Aerobic threshold.
Base is done in the Zone 2, Recovery in the Zone 1.
I have the same problem!!! Every activity I do, running or cycling is detected as **TEMPO** ! For example:
Does this look like a TEMPO workout?
It used to work better before. I think something messed up with the 10.40 update.
Another 2 examples of "TEMPO" from the last days.
The second one beats all records now. Exercise averaging in 1.8 Z, giving out a TEMPO result :)
But compared to OP, your main zone is Zone 2. Your activity looks more like it should be Base. For example this was "run" where I was teaching friend to orienteer:
It was:
So why you are getting Tempo from that is then probably that the TE is over 3 and loads are big. Why so? To that I don't have answer. But I can see some of my TE over 3 still being Base and some of them being Tempo. Like I'm somewhat surprised that this was Base:
The load this days was just absolutely base. Some 5km morning runs, and a 2 hour easy cycling session. But I've done many like these before. It started the last week or so. I train everyday, it's easy to spot that there's something in the water ;)
