Fitness vs Garmin training status

you need to import activities from garmin and on activity screen (insode activity details where graphs are) add custom data like epoc, you will need to reprocess imported previously activities, after rhat the epoc graph will show the data

/writing feom a phone, later will explain it better but you can find a forum topoc how to import garmin specific data (vo2, epoc, aero eff etc) inside an actovity

its on bottom of activity screen → fields → search etc

edit: sry it is in custom and not fields

Thank you very much :slight_smile:

I can’t see the EPOC value yet. I imported all data from Garmin via total export. I then displayed the EPOC field via Custom. How do I get the field filled now?

But it populates the Training Load field with the value from Exercise Load from Garmin.

HI,
Trying to get this working - is EPOC the same thing as Average EPOC that is now shown in the fields?

If the value is not displayed it is not imported I think. What you have to do now is reprocess the files you want the value to be filled in. Or in other words you should first add the value and import after.

“But it populates the Training Load field with the value from Exercise Load from Garmin.”
Not sure exactly here but garmin uses two values: EPOC as main value when you use their watch and TSS as a second value (useful when for some reason you use other device and export to garmin)
intervals.icu uses tss and can use EPOC from garmin and it is called EPOC not load or in short Exercise Load is TSS but tss is copyrighted by Trainings peak and garmin can’t use that name.

You use EPOC as a value but you can select different graphs like: fitness avg, fatigue avg and form avg (which all are calculated from base EPOC value by intervals.icu)
not sure what do you mean by Average EPOC.
all three avgs are avgs for different time period like 52 days, 7 days etc. (don’t remember exact values)

All of the following data was recorded with a Fenix ​​6. If I understand correctly, the EPOC is in the load field at Garmin. For me, this value ends up in the Training Load field in Intervals.icu, not in EPOC. If I’m right and know it, that’s fine. But what is the EPOC field for then?

Garmin Connect

Intervals.icu

Intervals.icu

There is something wrong with your settings. Delete the EPOC field in your intervals.icu, redo adding, reprocess the file.
Ubungsbelastung is Exercise Load = EPOC in intervals.icu
Belastung is TSS (should be under power tab in stats in Garmin) = Load in intervals.icu

PS. You don;t have to setup “Training load” importing in your intervals.icu (I think you did it) bc it is automatically imported (calculated). You have to set only your EPOC import as you did but got “?” (probably due to a overlap with training load which you should delete)

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I’m struggling to get the EPOC (garmin exercise load) into intervals. I’ve added EPOC field, and reprocessed a couple of files individually, and that worked, then when I went to batch reprocess them it hasn’t bought in the EPOC, I’ve also tried reprocessing some of the files individually, and that still hasn’t worked (see screenshot below). I can see the exercise load in Garmin connect, so the number is definitely populated in the file. Any help greatly appreciated.

Actually, I’ve just discovered that whilst the EPOC field from Nikolai Stenfors, doesn’t appear to be working consistently for me on the Forerunner 955 file. The “Training Load” field (Which is the EPOC number) from Povedano does work, so I can use that instead
