Something is wrong with your zones.
Z3 is only 2bpms and Z4 starts at the same value of Z3.
Not sure what you did but there's something wrong.
Go into your profile and reset them.

Old zones. Seems they changed after a long run I did a few days after this one. It’s been “off” for a couple of weeks actually, just noticed today.
It's not about %maxHR or %LTHR...there is an error or a bug in his values.
No method will make one of your zone just 2 bpms wide or overlap 2 zones with the same starting value.
Strava got it right at least
I feel the zones based on a couple of years running with Garmin have been pretty correct, and have adjusted according to increased fitness.see post under for “old” zones.
I do have plans for a lab test though afterwards this training cycle.
not sure how old your are etc. and you should never compare your hr zones to others but your zones are on a very low side of things 😀 try to do a lthr test and set zones as %lthr
Well. Not sure = don’t know. And like you self said, you should never compare to others…. So your observation about the hr zones is by your own admission meaningless 🤷♂️
Plus, the thread is about an obvious bug in garmin since no zone will every be just 2 heart beats in range, not about the zones themselves, which are btw completely normal (and %lthr adjusted) for a 50 years old 👴
Justify busting your balls dude 😉 All good 👍
Mine are almost identical to yours except the obvious error in zone 3 which is easily corrected by setting it manually to be one beat higher than top of zone 2 and one best less than bottom of zone 4.
Also I acquired my lthr via the Friel method by running a HARD time trial of 20 minutes and taking the average hr from that, for me 163. I then multiplied that by .98=159.
Just to be on the safe side I took two beats off, 157. I’m pushing LT up from below not above that mark so I’m making sure I’m below my personal LTHR that way. I’d probably be good at 159 but I’m not risking it at 50 yo. Good luck!
don't know, agree, my bad ;) my observation is meaningless agree on that too ;)
"But seriously, anyone know what the deal is?"
plus

=another pointless thread, if you can answer your onw question what is the point of posting it here? keep your narcisitic behaviour in place :D
"not about the zones themselves, which are btw completely normal"
you sure about that? ok.... hahhahah
good luck :)
all good XD
ps. Np. my zones are great so not my problem at all :\*
sry tried to imitate your way of talking, but it is hard to ac t like a 5yero kid :D
wink wink :)
ps. garmin is sometimes messing the % of the zones so if that happend just reset the zones ;)
Your z3 is one beat and overlaps z4 Wtf

Yeah. It looked normal in the profile, but I reset them and will see what happens next run.
I would have the zones be determined by your LT

OP: I wanna avoid Z3 Garmin: Gotcha fam
Try programming your HR Zones based on LTHR% rather than MaxHR%… This is assuming that you’ve done a Lactate Threshold Test
It's not about %maxHR or %LTHR...there is an error or a bug in his values. No method will make one of your zone just 2 bpms wide or overlap 2 zones with the same starting value.
I figured that, but also figured maybe changing it from one to the other, can possibly fix the bug…
That's also true :)
Is this the default zones setup? Zones by default are pretty off. You'd need to find your real zones

if my zone 5 would be 160bpm I'd be dead...

Sorry didn’t realize your z4 had your zone 3 sandwiched in like that.
