Training Status no longer using sync'd activities for Exercise Load.

I've seen this reported and affecting multiple syncing applications. In the cases I've seen the device type in the synced fit file needs to match a supported device type or service. Those device IDs are in the SDK. 

support.garmin.com/.../

Ahh, that's good to know. I'll dig around that file and see if I can find the difference. In the meantime, I've been recording the Peloton run on my watch, and then deleting the duplicate that shows up on Strava.

Thanks for the info!

I noticed similar issue this past week. My Zwift workouts sync'd to Garmin as usual but didn't refresh any load calculations so my recovery times stayed sat at 0h required. Feel it's maybe a server side issue as not aware of any software updates to the watch since it was last working, although tbh not 100% sure when it might have stopped working, pretty sure it was ok a few weeks ago.

Interesting that Zwift isn't working. That is one of the officially supported apps. Perhaps Zwift isn't syncing with the correct mfg IDs.

Syncing Peloton workouts recently stopped working (12/20ish) and the Device ID was fine but the manufacturer needed to be updated from Garmin (1) to TACX (89) in order to get the activity to count towards training load. https://github.com/philosowaffle/peloton-to-garmin/commit/d6b85b6ed6fe12a8ccbffd41bcf3f62901c2740c

Check the fit file from Zwift and see if it was sent over with one of the following from the FIT SDK. Either way, I'd open a case with Zwift since they seem to have a partnership with Garmin and could probably sort out the issue pretty quickly.

#define FIT_MANUFACTURER_ZWIFT_BYTE ((FIT_MANUFACTURER)144)
#define FIT_MANUFACTURER_ZWIFT ((FIT_MANUFACTURER)260)

If you are using p2g, this is fixed in the console-latest docker image. Only docker/github actions will have the fix until 4.1.0 is ready to be released according to the gihub conversation. github.com/.../d6b85b6ed6fe12a8ccbffd41bcf3f62901c2740c

This is great info. I exported the problematic activities and modified their Manufacturer ID to Tacx. When I re-imported them, they were processed correctly and added to my Training Status as expected.

Thanks so much for finding that!  I'll add this information to my support ticket when I hear from them. I'm using SyncMyWorkout, but I'll check out p2g

If you use the merge feature with SyncMyWorkout you don't need to worry about this. You'll probably want to do that anyways since you can now get your running dynamics from your watch combined with the tread data.

Yeah, I use the merge feature to clean things up on my watch, so it looks okay there. I just have to clean up the Strava duplicate since it doesn't affect that one.

I'm still starting an activity for the treadmill on my watch, where I didn't have to prior to December. Garmin Support said that the load calculations should be coming from Peloton, which is a little confusing since it was working all of last year.

Oh well. It's just another step I have to take and it's easy enough to remember. When the weather warms up I'll be back outside and will rely on the Tread a little less.

I did a Zwift workout today and after sync to Garmin it is showing impact to my training load / recovery metrics again, which pushed out to the watch at next sync too. Not sure when it all started working again as I've been dual recording for past couple of weeks.

Thanks for the update. I tested on the Peloton Tread yesterday and it's still not calculating load with SyncMyWorkout syncing it to Garmin Connect. I'll continue to dual record to get that data.
