Garmin Running Power is the CIQ data field needed.

That's a shame, Pix.

My status today is odd....

Body Battery - 26 now, down from 31 when I got up. "Your body battery is down 8 points overall since you woke up. Prevent your battery from bottoming out by getting some rest."
VO2 max - superior 48
Training status - Maintaining - High Aerobic Shortage
Load - optimal 729
Sleep Score - poor for 5h 58m "shorter than ideal, not enough REM"
Which seems odd because I felt like I'd slept ok! 🤷‍♀️

Training suggestIon for today - "10:10/mi 45:00" .... Nope! Rest day for me!

Well this seems a bit daft …
If running power is not being displayed, check the following:

A running power data field has been added to one of the data screens in a compatible Run activity. For running power to be logged during the run, it must be an active data field.

I was supposed to do a base training run of less than 2 hrs
I did 3:15 and Garmin said it was a tempo run 🤪
I said it was my LSR down walk run but hey ho!

It makes sense to me as it is what I said earlier. It has to be added to your run profile on one of the screens. If you don't have the screen as one you can scroll through, then it won't record data.

OIC it uses that as a profile as such!
Let’s see then!
I hope it’s worth the effort after all this lol

Yeah, officially they are called activities and are under activities and apps. You just need to edit the run one to add a screen with power (or add it to an existing screen).

About This Thread

Maintained by EvilPixie
According to my Garmin this morning my body battery was at just 41 and I was "strained"
I have been strained for most days in the last 2 weeks
My body battery has also been low

So today it suggested a threshold run of up to an hour!

What's your Garmin say?
