Thoughts on intervals.icu data breakdown

TrainerRoad Software
125

I get it now. Not a histogram but bpm on x-axis (high to low) and accumulated time on y-axis. That would be useful.

126

Would it be easy to make some sort of chart tracking cadence vs heart rate? Perhaps it only makes sense to display the ratio of a lower cadence and lower HR vs a higher one, as clearly at different power outputs the actual HR is going to be very different!

Awesome site by the way, great work @davidtinker

@davidtinker

Nothing productive to add, other than to offer a massive thanks for a great site!!!

128

I have considered adding cadence and temp to the decoupling chart as both of those influence HR. That might provide the info you are after. Anyway I have added this to the todo list. Tx.

129

Yes! (Or bpm on x-axis from low to high…so that you start with lowest HR on x and workout duration on y and have a falling curve. Either way would be pretty awesome.)

130

First shot at this is live. I still want to put HR zones on it, but its working and useful.

Thanks a lot and big compliment to your superhero quick coding skills (IT guy myself) :+1::pray:!

I think this is pure gold especially for VO2max session assessment! I wish TR would have this (@Nate_Pearson I know you’re not into HR and don’t want to bother you / have nearly given up on HR on TR :tired_face:…but just have a quick look at that graph above for total time accumulated at or above HR for a workout…and then tell me it’s not nice :wink:?)

132

That looks great thank you!

@davidtinker Hi David, I keep seeing a message saying a new version is available. I click OK but what else do I need to do?

Thanks

@davidtinker This is a great site, and it’s quickly become my go-to homepage for my training. I’m really excited to see where it goes. Really like being able to see the fitness / form metrics and the power curves.

My favorite aspect is the aerobic decoupling metric. I wonder if it would be able to calculate a “decoupling rate per hour” metric and even put an option to put that in the calendar-level view of workouts. Or maybe, have a combined graph that overlays the power/hr vs. time graph for selected rides. The reason I’m asking for this is it would be useful to be able to compare decoupling for my endurance rides over a season to track progress for my aerobic fitness.

Other feature requests:

  • Heart rate monitor drop detection, and interpolate for missing data
  • Ability to choose when to correct power spikes (i.e. indicate “looks like there is a power spike at this point, do you want to correct it?”)
  • Custom timeline on the calendar view

Hi @davidtinker.
There’s a bug on manually added entries, they are only shown on calendar view and not list view.
Thanks for the great app !

136

Just clicking OK is enough. I need to do something about that as it confuses a lot of people.

137

Tx. Adding calendar entries to the list view is on the todo list.

138

Thanks! Intervals.icu does fix HR drop outs. So long as they aren’t too long (5-10 secs I think).

I don’t understand this one? I have added the others to do the todo list.

Hi @davidtinker

I have a weird/edge case for you. In the time in zones in the calendar the site counts in all activities that it can get via Strava…however for strength, yoga, etc my HR doesn’t get out of z1 which skews the numbers a lot. It doesn’t really matter to me as I’m not tracking weekly time in zone. I only noticed as I went looking for my weekly cycling hours (which I later realised TR calendar gives me anyway).

140

Thank you David, I’ve only recently discovered it, I really like the look of it, very impressive.

141

I probably need to make that more configurable i.e. allow specific activity types to be excluded from time in zones … anything non-cardio really. A related item already on the todo list is to have training load from strength workouts etc. only count towards fatigue and not fitness.

142

Great site - really enjoy the added metrics it gives me to complement my TR data (particularly like the weekly time in zone stats). Just wondering if there is any way to set a minimum interval length to be displayed. I find that for an outside ride there will often be lots of very short intervals (less than 1m) picked up that I may not be too interested in whereas I am often more interested in time intervals of several minutes or longer.

143

Tx! I have “make interval detection” more configurable on the todo list. There are a lot of options not exposed yet (e.g. minimum number of short intervals to find before they are considered intervals etc. which would help your use-case).

144

Maybe add something like “Click OK to refresh the screen with the latest version.” to give them an idea what happens and why they should do it.
