Intervals.icu now shows variability index (normalized / avg power), efficiency factor (normalized watts / avg HR) and average power (work done / elapsed time) for activities with power. Hardest part was trying to fit all this in on an iPad in portrait mode.

Intervals.icu now supports intervals for activities with heart rate and no power. It doesn't detect them (yet!) so you need to use the lap button or add them manually.

You also get a little sticker with your seeding on it on the morning of the race to stick to your PPA number.

Its a fun day out for most teams so why stress about drafting? Its impossible to police drafting in such an event, other than for teams going for the podium. They can can only really draft each other anyway .. easy to watch for that

I like that pragmatic approach I added an option to revert to the old "Average HR => TSS/h" model this weekend. Some people get results they like better from that.

Intervals.icu now uses a model based on time in heart rate zones to estimate training load for activities without power. If you don't have enough rides with power and heart rate then a general model is used. So even if you don't have a power meter you can use Intervals.icu to plan your training on the calendar and track your fitness, time in zones, ask a coach for help etc.

Thanks! If you have configured HR zones in /settings then you can look at the /hr page for the activity to see what the TSS would be estimated from the HR data. You can then just edit the training load for the activity and fill in that value. If you can sent me a link to the activity intervals.icu I can have a look.

Thanks! Had a lot of good input from people here and elsewhere.

Hmm. There should be an "Edit" button at the bottom of that dialog if it is one of your own workouts or the athlete you are looking at has set you as "Coach". So can you not edit even your own stuff? Calendar entries are not shown on the list view yet.

You should be able to edit training load for any activity, even ones with no HR or power.

The load is estimated from your average HR for the activity. You can see this on the activity HR page: https://intervals.icu/activities/2859171069/hr Your average HR is so low the model says -4.8 TSS/h so gives it a training load of 1 You can edit the load. I don't know how to go about estimating the fitness impact of a gym session though. Maybe 1 is right.

The activity heart rate page now has a chart that shows how Intervals.icu estimates training load for activities with only HR data.

Tx. I am going to have to try fit some dates on the calendar. It wasn't really designed for people like you who train every single day

I have implemented a workaround for this issue. Please try reloading the app.

You can now ask a coach for help with your training questions from many of the pages in Intervals.icu. And not just any coach! Alex Mitchell (FastFitness.Tips) and John Wakefield (UAE Team Emirates, www.sciencetosport.com) are in the house!

Hmm. I don't see any new planned workouts on your calendar since when I looked this morning? Is the problem still happening? Could you please try opening a new Intervals.icu window on the /fitness page and then add a workout to the calendar in another window. It should immediately update fitness. If it doesn't please mail me info on the browser you are using and so on. Also try reload the fitness page and see if that causes it to update. That will isolate the "realtime" connection with the server as a cause.

Hmm. I just had a look at your fitness chart and it seems to be working now. Were you making changes in one window to see the effect in another? The fitness chart only shows about 5 days into the future by default. If you want to see further choose a date from the date drop down (e.g. "November 2019").

You just need to click OK. You might not see anything different, even the smallest change triggers a reload. This whole business is causing a lot of confusion, I am going to try get rid of some of it soon. I need to avoid reloading the app while someone is filling in a dialog or they will lose their work.

Dragging calendar entries around is easy enough. I have added that to the todo list. Tx. Split screen setup is possible but quite tricky. There isn't a lot of space. So probably leaving that to having multiple tabs/windows is probably best.

It is now the top end of your Z2 heart rate zone as configured in /settings.

Intervals.icu now supports heart rate zones for cycling and running and tracks how much time you spend in each zone. For activities without power the HR zones are used for your weekly "time in zones" stats. Even if you always ride with a power meter the relationship between power and heart rate is worth monitoring. Go to https://intervals.icu/settings to configure.

Heard of polarized training? Intervals.icu now classifies your weekly training based on time spent in training zones. Click the week summary to open the info panel. Thanks to Alex from FastFitness.Tips for the classifications. Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFXnjPvyO1M

Yes that will probably work. Setting the load to 0 will definitely exclude the power ride from the fitness chart but it will still impact power curves and so on. The other HR only activity should have load estimated from HR as normal.

I will get there. I did the swimming thing because it was easy and because runners have HR to work with and swimmers often have nothing at all. I do plan to add more stuff for runners and HR zones etc. soon. Me being only a cyclist does impart a teensy bit of bias in feature ordering I didn't know anything about Swim FTP 4 days ago.

Tx! Yes at the moment intervals only work for activities with power. HR intervals are on the todo list along with HR zones etc.,
