Heat sessions in TR

Feature suggestion - would be great to flag an endurance ride as a heat session and the impact of that considered (versus the low power).

I dont think it would be possible to quantify a heat session, too many other parameters.

Just pick an IF 0.50 session and start there :slight_smile:

Recess for example.

I think what @gloscherrybomb is suggesting that doing a specific TR workout with heat training would more likely lead to cardiac drift or a loss of expected performance which AT might falsely detect as a loss of fitness or fatigue.

Therefore a hypothetical “heat training” tag on a completed workout could inform AT that the cardiac drift or noted loss of expected performance on a workout is more likely to be because of deliberate heat training and not suggest easier workouts or trigger RLGL.

I do wonder if such a feature could be incorporated into the post workout survey? Maybe an option that could be added to the Struggle Survey would be “Heat training”:

Yes, not just cardiac drift, but if you accurately complete the survey it would be right to rate the workout as quite difficult, which would be wrongly considered for progression levels or freshness.
