I track my daily lunch time walks to see the birds near my house, these don’t put any stress on me as they’re sub 1 hour and not fast/carrying a pack but they do all go into TR. Yoga, and anything else from my Garmin also end up there.
It would be nice if we could set what gets sync’d in, a walk or yoga will never be adding any stress for me anything with lots of hills will be a hike on my watch so would end up in TR.
Advice part: should I just remove the walks/yoga sets to keep TR clean and free-er of garbage data? Last couple of weeks show below as an example (and my profile is open to the public for longer term).
Some further thoughts right after I posted. It’s not that I think anything is wrong per se but my predicted ftp is more often than not a decrease. Which doesn’t worry me as if we look at my history there’s plenty of season records and close/above the last couple of years after only 3 months in so clkearly the actual improvements are working as it should. But I’m wondering if the extra workouts are messing with the calulations - garbage in = garbage out.
Hi @Caro.Gomez-Villafane & @firemunki, I don’t mean to dilute @firemunki’s request, but parallel to this, maybe just a little carat symbol like what appears on replies here on the forum, & performs the same purpose: to collapse an activity to a single line (or two), so that it shows simply the activity type & duration. I think that could make it look a lot cleaner, especially on days that include two commutes plus two different types of workouts. In the grid view, multiple activities on a day make the calendar very “long” in comparison to last year, when only one activity per day had a thumbnail image. Here’s a mockup of my own calendar using browser developer tools. I didn’t try to insert the carat symbols there, but the differences are easy to spot.
Before:
@Caro.Gomez-Villafane - is there official TR guidance about what to do with all of the activities recorded on smart watches that don’t play into the TR ecosystem? I ask because I’ve seen other cases where TR folks mentioned calendars that were overly busy with things like dog walks and how it could confuse the AI. Just wondering if there’s an article somewhere on best practice? TIA!
