Now it's real... need help with running power registration / garmin connect

[jonaspacheco]

hey,
i’ve already posted here about the lack of power analysis from my running activities. i was told to do a manual “ftp test” to work properly… but it’s not the case.

a friend of mine just enabled the power metric in his garmin and intervals already begun registering his better power/time curve automatically by the new activities. mine didn’t worked.

al the options from both profiles, mine and his, are equal and it’s now working.

last thing i tried to use the re-sync from garmin option on my last activity and it returned me an error… and now seems is disconnected from the garmin activity. it shows the “garmin connect” besides the strava link, but the link is not avaliable.

mine

his

error

he had nothing done on the run setup before… no pace or power thresholds… it “just worked” for him.

You need the treshold and zone settings. There´s no way around that. Enter an ftp estimate and choose one of the standard zone settings.
While in the settings for running. Do it for power, HR and pace. Then set the priority of what you want to use for load and TIZ calculation.
Then click the button to apply it to all activities.

i see. i will do it, but this doesn’t explain why it worked automatically for one person and not for another and the issue with resync with garmin connect.
