@billard Yeah sounds like it - I’m 2500-3000 on a high intensity or long cardio day, which sounds similar to your training (I cycle and row). On a day where I train intensively and then coach as well (long slow cycles up and down the river) I can even push 3500 😱 Best of luck, I’m loving all...

@billard Are you sure that’s your full-day calories and not just your exercise calories? Garmin makes it a little hard to tell the difference.
