Garmin Connect Guys.... Training Effect??? What is it?

Dino Sarti · May 23, 2012 9:50PM

I use Garmin Connect in concert with Training Peaks. Not sure why. I guess just because I have used it longer, it backs up nicely and automatically via the ANT+ Wireless, etc.

Question - Recently they added the term "Training Effect". It is a scale from 1-5 with a 3 being "improving" , 4 as "highly improving" and 5 as "over reaching". Does anyone know how this works? I like it because it is a simple look at run intensity, but don't know what drives it.

Any wicked smart ideas or thoughts?

I saw this as a field in my Activities summary, but the values are all blank for me. I use a Edge 500 (with ANT+ HR strap) and Forerunner 200. Is there anything special you have to do/use to get a number out of this?
