Zwift rides are not being accounted for in training load
As can be seen from the image, only my dog walks are being accounted for, not my Zwift rides.
For reference I use Zwift using the actual Zwift Ride and use my Garmin Forerunner 265 to broadcast my heart rate to Zwift, I have Zwift connected to my Garmin so my rides are automatically uploaded to G

Advice and personal anecdotes needed
Hi 46F, with two small children here. I'm signed up for a half on the 23 Feb in my home town. Low stakes, just for fun.
Some background: I've been running on and off my entire life, but have have upped my mileage since 2023. Early in 2024, I ran a couple of 14-15km at about 6.1 m/km, and was gener

Runna, Garmin & treadmills
Ive exclusively ran outside using my Garmin Forerunner 265 to launch my workouts. Now the nights are drawing in, I did an interval session last night at the gym - I expected it to be off but unfortunately my Garmin and the treadmill were way out of sync. I just ignored the prompts off my watch and m

Ex Garmin users, share plz ur thoughts
Heart rate is on pair with polar h10 if you wear the Helio strap on the arm. I use it instead of a chest HR monitor and I push the heart rate to my Garmin, it's a lot better than the forerunner 265 in terms of sensitivity. For calories, most of the time Garmin and amzfit are equal to me. The plus in

Forerunner 265 or wait for new model to drop?
The joke of it is... it has been priced as between the 2 and 9 lineup. Technically, and operationally it is a flow from the 265 though. Sure it's newer and has newer features, but I think the only stuff it has taken that isn't traditionally a mid Forerunner function is the smart functions that is tr

Lactate threshold test question.
I have a garmin forerunner 265 where the onboard lactate threshold test is NOT available. I’m planning on doing a field test soon, but was looking at online calculators and had some questions. I have been doing cardio with a chest strap already for a couple years, so I’m pretty in tune with my per

[Troubleshooting] TrainingPeaks workouts won’t sync to my Forerunner 265 — missing third-party workouts
I’m hoping someone here has run into this, because even Garmin Tier-3 support hasn’t solved it yet.
Setup:
• Forerunner 265
• iPhone + Garmin Connect (latest version)
• TrainingPeaks Premium
• TP + Garmin are linked
• I see VO2 Max, Training Load, Training Status, and Training Readiness o

Dealing with Garmin Training Load vs. Real Feelings – Any Tips?
How do you interpret and apply the training load estimate from your Garmin watch in your training?
In the past, I experienced two injuries (at different times) with tears in my leg calf muscle, possibly due to overly intense running recommended by my coach. A year later, I developed Achilles tendon

Sport-Uhr Empfehlung
Na ja käme die 165 oder 265 in Frage, die 570 ist schon deutlich teurer Knöpfe haben die forerunner zum Glück immer noch. Musst einfach mal die Features vergleichen und schauen ob was fehlt das nur die andere hat. Die Politik von garmin ist da leider recht restriktiv. Ein Vorgänger Modell würde ich
