Post Workout Survey Changes

Thanks @eddie very clear now.

If we can just make clear that there are some instances where the workout has sets, but you aren’t supposed to be able to complete an entire set to rate it hard.

Most of the workouts with only two sets, like the example earlier in this thread, would fit the bill here in my mind as you effectively then have to do half the workout. But at least for something like Noisy which has 2 sets of 7x2 minute VO2Max intervals it feels excessive to have to be able to do 7 more two minute intervals.

Hi Eddie - Thanks for doing your best to help us all understand. It was confusing before, but now that they’ve changed, many of us are going to have to rethink our ratings, so it’s important to get clarity.

For me at least, it was clearer when we had a rating for “just one more interval vs. a whole set”, but now they all say set, so it feels like “doing one more interval when it’s not a long interval” has lost any value. I actually used that as my key differentiator between hard and very hard in the past.

Also, I think the new descriptors need to be updated a bit to cover your last “long intervals” example. They all say “set”.

Yeh, just quoting from my own post-ride notes today: “This was on the Very Hard side of Hard—could have done a bit more (like a mini-interval) but definitely not another full set.” If that’s not the differentiator anymore, I need to rethink my scoring. I wasn’t aware that it had changed.

Yeah so that will be very hard rating then?

in my opinion there is not much from Hard to All out. I’m rating my workouts hard as I mostly could have done another set of intervals with a gun to my head :sweat_smile: but some of them, if the intervals were 15s longer I would be all out
