_________________________________________________
A data field that calculates your Training Impulse (TRIMP) in real-time during workouts. TRIMP measures workout intensity using the Banister formula — combining duration, heart rate reserve, and an exponential weight that gives higher HR zones disproportionately more load.
_________________________________________________
Attention:
Workout data uploads automatically after finishing a workout. If offline (not connected to phone), data is saved locally and syncs automatically next time you're connected and press START/STOP on your watch. (No need to start a new workout.)

Setup:
1. Garmin Connect app → Workout Load → Settings
2. Enter your email address
3. Add the Data Field to the Workout Data Screen
4. Start training!

How it works:
• Add the data field to any activity. During your workout, the field displays your accumulated training load.
• When you save the workout, the load is uploaded to the server.
• Pair it with the Training Load or Training Status App to track your load over time.
