Apple Health is also another independent and platform-agnostic way to maintain data. My Whithings scale has its own app, which displays trends in a better way than Apple Health. But it is manufacturer-dependent silo just like the Polar app, my Wahoo app and my SRAM app. Apple Health is not. In my mind, Apple Health should be treated like Garmin’s, TrainingPeak’s and Wahoo’s clouds: just another outlet to exchange data with.
In the aftermath of the Strava kerfuffle, TR was able to add syncing to Wahoo’s cloud within a short time frame. I realize this was something TR had done in emergency mode, but TR hasn’t done so in years with Apple Health.
I think I might have mentioned it before but I would be good if when adding an old style training block it would be good if as well as selecting the volume (number of days to train) we could also set the duration for the workouts.
I guess this could also be achieved by in the plan builder allowing us to set what block we want to do.
This is prompted by me wanting a 4 week short power block before the winter base works sets in again, I can add it but it’s a bit more manual than the builder.
Reading all the discussion above regarding TR product improvements, much of it politely expressed mild frustration from long-standing users who sense (rightly or wrongly) a degree of stagnation, it seems 100% clear to me that some official product roadmap communications here from TR would work wonders for morale…….
Bang on. In the past we’d get a steady stream of tidbits from @Nate_Pearson and @Jonathan. The most interesting to me were the whats and whys for (or against) certain implementing features. And even when I ultimately disagreed with the decision, understanding the reasoning was interesting. Nowadays, Nate is rarely on the podcast and (at least according to my memory) hasn’t disclosed anything feature-wise before release.
We probably also miss the feeling, correct or not, of being able to influence product direction by posting here. Now it feels like they’re going to do what they’re going to do and we’ll find out what they produce, but not the whys and wherefores, at the same time as the rest of the world.
I recently changed how I rate my workouts to follow this chart, essentially I wasn’t rating my workouts hard enough. Wish there was a way to let the system know that I’m rating my workouts harder not because they feel harder, but because I’ve made an adjustment in how I rate them. Not sure if it’s a huge issue or if the AI will adjust quickly to my new inputs but in the near-term I did get a suggestion to lower FTP instead of an expected bump up. Also feel maybe this chart should be standardized and included somewhere in the app? Really helped me to better gauge RPE.
I thought I heard in a recent video that the workout ratings are factored in although not sure how heavily weighted. It would be good I guess to get something like that chart into the app just so everyone is following a similar rating scale. But yes I’ve bumped up my moderate rating to hard, and have a better idea now of what Very Hard and All Out should feel like.
This has been requested in the past, and the response was that they didn’t want to overcomplicate it and that if we just keep our ratings consistent, the system will learn how we individually rate workouts.
Note: I agree with you, just sharing the previous response.
Ability to add rolling averages to graphs (5/10/30/60 seconds). Instantaneous is great, but seeing how an effort is over time would be also helpful.
When zooming on a segment in the graph, auto zoom map to that segment
Option to toggle map to show power zone on the track.
Option to toggle HR zones on track
I can’t imagine what you’re paying google for the API calls, but something like Mapbox (or the open source offshoot before it was closed sourced) would be great to see instead.
There is also an issue when switching between time/distance on the map track. I assume this is related to the workout being tracked by time (per-second?) so there is a bit of inference needed when switching to distance in the graph. In either case, the map shows the incorrect segments for a respective distance.
A simple one would be Train Tomorrow, my plan doesn’t have anything in for tomorrow but I would like to put it in the calendar to look forward to but right now it’s saying to chill out as I have had a good workout today.
Can we have an option like Training Peaks to put your equipment in and then select the bike from the drop down for each workout on the calendar. It would be useful for me to be able to look back and potentially see trends with equipment use. Plus I’m a geek and it would just make me happy to have that data on the calendar.
I have active plan for bike but due the work, I am forced to travel - so I am replacing my bike scheduled training with running or inline scatting - can I get recommendation how to convert bike plan to running plan? I am now doing it base on my experience, sometime I am successful sometime not.
I’d like the ability to manually declare a day as Yellow or Red.
I’ve been mixing a lot of other kids of activities (rucking, lifting, yoga, …) along with some diet changes and I’m regularly pushing into overreaching status. While I am currently using annotations to denote this, having the option to get the full visual impact on my calendar being in Yellow/Red status would be appreciated.
The ability to click on a TR workout and directly upload the completion file (e.g., FIT, gpx, etc.) instead of having to do the current multi-step process:
Careers → Activity List - > Import Activity
Calendar → [imported activity] → associate the imported activity with a TR workout
