Thoughts on intervals.icu data breakdown

Yes please. Tx.

Paid up. :+1:

PS. You should probably add a voluntary amount. I don’t mind paying $12 bucks a quarter to help out, but I’d been meaning to flick you some cash for awhile. I’ve been using your service for some time and would’ve paid more :wink:

Done! Very easy this way, nicely integrated. I didn’t see it on the initial page though, found it under Settings. Maybe make a small text banner on the initial page to spread awareness?

Tx. If you haven’t subscribed it will popup a little box every 5 days or so asking you to do so.

Really loving the way we can track the welness with so many metrics. Thanks for the fantastic work !

Really appreciate this site. But curious how it determined yesterday’s workout was ā€˜Threshold’? I spend 77% of my time in Z1/2!

The formulas have edge points … as far as I know there isn’t an ā€œacceptedā€ way to classify training from time in zones. This is the Intervals.icu calc which is adapted from a spreadsheet I got from Alex (Fastfitness.Tips):

// s1=z1+z2 s2=z3+z4 s3=z5+
let ans
if (s3 > s2 && s3 > 0.499 * (s2 + s1)) ans = HITT
else if (s3 > s2 && s1 > s2) ans = POLARIZED
else if (s1 > 3.99 * s2 && s1 > 3 * (s2 + s3)) ans = BASE
else if (s1 < 3.01 * s2 && s1 > 1.4 * s2 && s2 > 1.4 * s3) ans = PYRAMIDAL
else if (s1 < 4 * s2 && s2 > 0.5 * s3) ans = THRESHOLD
else ans = UNIQUE

So its threshold if (Z1+Z2) < (Z3+Z4) * 4 … i.e. if at least it 25% of the time is Z3+Z4

Research in cycling intensity has some methodology they have models to classify PYR, THR, POL. It could be useful to see if there’s a convention among scientists that you could adopt for the website.

So i have a question…
how does the site calculates totals?
Can I change the filter and show only runs or rides?

I ask because before mid 2020 i was mostly a runner… then decided to take cycling more seriouly and gave the TR a chance.

On running I follow a strict pyramid plan, while on cycling I was following whatever TR was giving me or SS (depending where i was last year).

On the site it show me always hitting pyramidal. But not sure if thats correct for cycling…

thanks in advance…

EDIT…

nevermin… i found the filters…

Seems good for me, except for some strange reason it’s not saying I’ve got an FTP of 6w/kg :roll_eyes:

Something had just been reported over one intervals forums (might be one of you guys :smiley:)

Looks like it’s working again for me! yay

Thanks everyone for reporting this. I fixed it a few minutes ago.

@davidtinker A feature request :grinning:

When you look at the overview of an activity the power graph is ā€œbandedā€ according to which zone you are in. Could this also be done for the HR data graph? I do a few workouts on my MTB which doesn’t have a power meter so this would make it easier to see when I’ve overdone things, etc.

Thats a good idea and now on the todo list.

Anyone having problem with the link with Garmin.

Intervals doesn’t auto import anymore and I’ve tried a few times to re-connect but to no avail.

Unfortunately around the 1st of April Garmin Connect stopped sending activities from non-Garmin devices (e.g. Trainer Road) to apps like Intervals.icu. Your best bet is to use the Trainer Road Dropbox upload support and configure Intervals.icu to download from there.
