From a guy who is not so into all the training science.
Intervals.icu said yesterday "Threshold HR +3 to 167 bpm from 1h at 167 bpm After doing dunderberg-3 (1,5h). Is that a Good or abd sign?
Following the graph i should have been able to Do a workout.
IT was a disaster. Horrible warmup, had Do stop After 20 Minutes.
Am i more fatigued than Intervals.icu Has calculated
Thoroughly unscientific but I find very very little correlation between my nailing / failing a workout and where that pretty chart tells me how I should be feeling. It seems to think if thereâs no / little red zone (Z5+) then you must be getting fresher which is nonsense, especially at the end of a loading block with accumulating fatigue. I notice your block last week didnât have any red.
Thanks for your answer.
Last week i did only âeasyâ rides, the week before i had my best effort (oudoors). Maybe im really more fatigued than i think.
But my thought was the graph will give you some gĂźde lineđ¤.
Well, lets have some Rest daysđ
You were able to operate at a slightly higher HR threshold than you could before. It seems like a good thing to me, well done on the improvement
Sometimes the line between failing and passing is finite though. Another day with the knowledge you can operate towards this higher threshold youâll nail it
One of the problems is, that this tool can only look at your training. It does not know about the rest of your live (Sleep, nutrition, work stress, etc) Neither does it know how âfitâ you are. Some people can recover much faster than others. Or can take a higher training load than others and so on. So I think in the beginning, it is important to go by feel. âlisten to your bodyâ. You can take a look on how much the graph corelates with your own perception and than going forward it might be useful tool.
You are right.
I was really irritated because dunderberg-3 was exhaustingâŚi choosed a training today via train nowâŚbecause im Not on a Plan at the MomentâŚ
But hey, im Not a Professional, i can take it easy.
Dunderberg-3 is tough and I wouldnât put any weight to a recovery metric based on an arbitrary constant.
