Yeah mine is similar. High aerobic runs do generally end up with much higher load numbers though. For example, 11.3 miles long run today was 115 load, 6.9 with the 5 miles of alternations was 167 load so from a miles perspective you'll likely do more miles to hit low aerobic goal. Whether you'd hit the distribution they want, is another matter. It would be interesting to find out how they came to what they see as the optimal distribution. I'm currently above the distribution for high aerobic as I've prioritised it in the last four weeks, plus 3 XC races in the period. It's same you can't see load focus history but in the four weeks before that, I was above the low distribution quite a bit. Think I was low end of optimal on the high aerobic. I'd be interested in plugging my basic training from 2017-2020 of one progressive run of 7 miles, a hill sprint session after a 40 min run, a long run around 10 miles or more and 3 easy runs around the hour mark and seeing what that came up with. May be a point where I do it again at some point. |

I just compared my last two long runs because they are of similar duration (roughly 2:55 and 3:05) but one was easy running in Z2 while the other contained 20k of marathon paced intervals where I hovered between Z3 and Z4 for about 1:50 h: Run 1: 3:05 h, 18.3 mi, pace 10:17, avg HR 143, Z1 8%, Z2 88%, Z3: 2%, load 237 Run 2: 2:55 h , 19.5 mi, pace 8:58, avg HR 155, Z1 6%, Z2 31%, Z3: 20%, Z4: 40%, Z5 1%, load 387! So the easy run gives me only about 61% of the load of the run with almost 2/3 at MP. I once dabbled with the cardio load calculations of Polar and I still have a spreadsheet with that formula. I could dig that out and see what Polar would say about these two sessions. I wish there was a calculator where you could input your prior training and see what Garmin would have to say about that. I only have a couple of years of load distribution data when I bought a compatible watch. Unlike Polar, they don't reveal how they calculate the load. Garmin just says that it uses the estimated effect the session had on the body, how much energy is still burned after the session and how long it will take for the body to return to normal. As for the ideal distribution, I'm not sure what kind of training model Garmin is using here - polarized training is definitely out of the question. In marathon training, I'm exceeding low aerobic by a lot and I'm on the lower end of the optimal range for high aerobic and really short of anaerobic training because that's the least concern right now. After the marathon, I'm going to focus more on 5k and see what that will do to my load. |

BB 95 SS 82 RHR where it should be pretty much I still feel tired from weekend so opted to do a single after work run rather than run commute Suggested session 39 mins base Does the load split work out with 20% being anaerobic is it loosely based on 80:20? |

Body battery 95, highest for a fortnight. HRV 67, sleep score only fair. The watch has changed today's session from Anaerobic to Rest. I thought it might disregard yesterday's walks but it appears not.

Body battery 83, up from 28 Sleep score 74 for 6 hours, good deep sleep RHR still a bit up, 47 48 hours of recovery Productive training Recommended training: 44 min base 9:15 I'm going to run a 6 mile recovery run as planned, probably a bit slower than that |

Polarised training is supposed to be 80 (base), 10 (threshold), 10 (high intensity so VO2 Max type stuff) as per Stephen Seiler who did the research. It is all aerobic (although high intensity will always have an anaerobic component) and there's a different model for anaerobic training IIRC, so it's possible that the 20 could hit the high aerobic optimal zone, while the 80 is above the low aerobic zone. Doubt it works with both in optimal zone. The about thread here is a good start for anyone wanting to look into polarised further: fetcheveryone.com/forum/polarized-training-55778/ |

BB- 80 SC- 78, fair. HRV - balanced Train readiness - moderate Train status - maintaining, low aerobic overage Recommended run - recovery 30min @14.45 (My plan says optional 45min recovery to easy depending how you feel) |

BB 65 now (was 89 when I got up) Sleep score 83 Training status - maintaining but high aerobic shortage. Recommended run - base 10:00 /mi 45:00 (I did do a run that long just wasn't quite that speedy! 😂) |

My suggested session today is now base 49 mins. I'll likely do an easy hour if I don't feel like doing anything with efforts. My HR is generally lower than what Garmin suggests.
