Garmin Training Effect Aerobic
Garmin training effect aerobic rates 0–5 aerobic stimulus per session from HR duration—pair with anaerobic effect and recovery before chasing repeated fives.
Garmin training effect aerobic is a zero-to-five session score estimating how much a workout improved aerobic capacity from heart-rate duration above resting—long easy runs and steady zone 2 register lower numbers than threshold blocks. Scores above four indicate strong aerobic stimulus; repeated fives without recovery invite stagnation.
Anaerobic training effect captures complementary high-intensity contribution.
Common questions
-
Why is aerobic training effect low on a long easy run?
Easy pace may stay below the threshold Garmin uses for aerobic improvement—even though the session aids recovery and base volume. Use duration and zone minutes for easy days; reserve high TE for intended hard days.
