Hi Tom, this is because in the 6M view the status represents your "overall" status over 6 days, so you can easily spot rolling trends. Looking at your 1M view, it looks like you varied between maintaining, productive, detraining & overtraining, and spent the most time in detraining, so it makes sense to see "detraining" as your status for 6M view.

Garmin's shows your current status, regardless of the view. We took a different approach to hopefully help you better spot trends over time. Hope this helps! :)

Amanda thank you very much for taking the time to answer in details.

I feel it defeats the purpose of such indicator. Taking an example: overtraining would mean a risk of injury. If in 1M view I have an overtraining status and then I change to 6M and see Maintaining, the message is very confused. Should I rest? Should I train more?
