Jump in training load

Just curious: Does anyone notice a jump in training load after installing the beta?

My trainingload nearly doubled after instatlling the 6.75 beta and now I'm at 650 and "unproductive", of course. No big thing, because I think I only have to do is wait for several days for my training load to become reasonable again.

    ok... nobody....

    Today I ran 10miles slow and relaxed and my training load sky rocketed from 611 to 844. Recovery time 3 days!! New status "overreaching". I did a hard reset and now I have to wait again for 7 days to get reasonable vo2-max and training load values. Not nice...

    Did your max HR somehow get changed to something much lower in Connect the watch or both?

    I must admit that I didn't check the correct hfmax after updating to beta 6.75. Correct is 191. After hard-reset the max hr was set to ~171... I think this could be the solution, now i have to wait anyway....

    It was definitely the HR reset that caused the high TE. About a month ago I added a Vivoactive 3 to my Garmin profile and for some reason my HRMax got reset from 178 to 167 (which is the age-220 default that Garmin uses) and my next run with my 735 had a TE of 5 and a recovery time of 3 days after a run that was fully in my Zone 2 range.

    Also if load goes up a lot on one day it might be replacing a rest day or light training day a week ago. Similarly your load can go down a lot on one day if you trained very hard 7 days ago and so "lose" that from your load.

    I've just seen the same thing, and my max HR is accurate. Training load is at 899 (never had that much even at the peak of my HM training). Have a look at the sudden jump in the attached screenshot. I did a fairly intense (but not all-out) 10k run. Aerobic TE was at 5 with 72 hours recovery. That's what I got after a HM at the same pace! Something seems wonky...ciq.forums.garmin.com/.../1268651.png

    You can't get any "harder" than a TE of 5.0 which must be why you got a big training load for that one.

    Why you got 5.0 when you felt like it was not flat out is perhaps another question. Do you often get a 5.0 for TE?

    I can't remember getting a 5.0 TE for any training run, only for races. Same for the current training load - I'm at the highest load ever and I'm currently running less than half my peak mileage per week. Which variables enter into training load? The watch thinks I'm currently ramping up volume again since I only logged hikes and trailruns during my vacation. Could that throw it off?

    Did you have the 935 when doing your peak mileage? From what I can see Training Load is a function on intensity and duration so a 5.0 TE would undoubtedly score highly.

    Intensity is relative to you so undoubtedly the watch will typically think runs have a higher training load than hikes.
