Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 20, 2016 Share Okay so max points for an exercise on the "normal" one is 300 for an HR backed exercise of 30 Min plus. Points cap is now 900 max on normal one. Will look for more information later. Edited July 20, 2016 by Myles Mayhew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 20, 2016 Share Got what they wanted. What's the bet they'll bitch and moan cos you can't get the weekly points goal in one sitting anymore Harryn, Tumbleweed, dracs and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Buttox Posted July 20, 2016 Share No more getting your weekly points goal in one sitting unless it's an eventYeah, but that was sort of the point. Makes it harder for us maniacs to do it in one go, but also easier to do it in a rest week. Well done on them for listening and/or realising they mucked up the first time. Only still odd thing is the lack of distinction between timed MTB and road events. And people without HR monitors or with Apple watches who aren't serious sportspeople are still in the same boat if their points approach 900. But hey, suck it up now. You can get your points if you try! Edited July 20, 2016 by Thor Buttox dracs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudi Pollard Posted July 20, 2016 Share All I want to know is what the definition of endurance/high performer is. I like to train 6 times a week with my weekends being anything from 7 to 12 hours worth of training in total. I have not missed a single goal since starting out, so will this now push me into the endurance category according to them? 1200 points per week was no issue as I usually get 1500/3000 points on my Saturday ride.

Funny thing. Impey would STILL only get 300 points for his efforts unless there's a different scale for "endurance" or "performance" athletes fanievb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted July 20, 2016 Share Fromm a quick look at the table, looks a much better proportioning of the points if the cap is going to be 900. Still not in agreement that a parkrun/walk can get you 300 points, which is the same points allocation for me doing a 10km run in 54mins at vigorous MHR, as well as a 2hr+ bike ride at moderate MHR. Just based on the inputted effort it does not compare... but I guess the parkrun is aimed at getting the couch potatoes up and exercising. Nice to see under times and verified races they will be recognising duathletes and triathletes! fanievb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The graduation in this scale ensures that happens, unless it's a timed event and then you can do Iron Man and rest the rest of the week. And even the fitter low revvers can do 60% for a longer period which is fine for active recovery. I had to do a make up session last week on the spin bike for 90mins at 80%,and I almost died, with the sweat river running off under the other bike. So now it's much easier. Seems close to optimal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 20, 2016 Share Yep. Much easier if your points are at 900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
