Hi Team !

just did my first wkout with a PM and trying to understand all the data coming from that little toy.

I was first looking at values from GC

https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/940936669

and compare the data to the TP

http://home.trainingpeaks.com/athlete/workout/BGWENKJQKTP7MT2EGK3QTFU4QA

Do you know what could explain the difference between those 2 in regards of TSS and IF ? NP is not really off.

TSS:

TP: 44.6

GC:33.3

IF:

TP:0.64

GC: 0.55

Thanks!

Your TSS (training stress score) and IF (intensity factor) are based on the value of your FTP (functional threshold power).

If your FTP is set to different values in GC and TP you will get different IF and TSS numbers.

X2 what Doug said.... Your Garmin Data is being based off an FTP setting of 398

don't feel stupid, you're definitely not the first person that's happened to.
