Wayne Potgieter Posted March 5, 2021 Share Like most of you, I use a Garmin device for measuring all of my training activities. Over the last while (probably as I get older), I am less interested in my pace at events, and more interested in my overall fitness and Vo2Max data. I have been leveraging my Garmin Fenix 5X for some time and learning more and more and learning more about the training effects and the relevant metrics. I found this guide to be EXTREMELY useful. It was created by FirstBeat, the company behind all of these metrics for Garmin. Hope you like! https://media.dcrainmaker.com/images/2017/03/FirstBeat-GarminFeatures-DCR.pdf Bateleur1, Saag, Reme Le Hane and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find Garmin's EPOC thingy in conflict with Intervals.icu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola MTB Posted March 28, 2021 Share Garmin sniffed and declared last weekends 195km ride unproductive. Cuts deep From the Garmin Website:Unproductive: your training load is at a good level, but your fitness is decreasing. Your body may be struggling to recover, so you should pay attention to your overall health including stress, nutrition, and rest.So your ride pushed you past "productive" and into "unproductive". Its actually registering that it was a big effort and you need some recovery now. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
