Hello,
I’ve noticed a change this year vs my last three years in the Power vs Heart rate compare chart. It looks like I am producing greater power at the same percentage of threshold heart rate but the heart rate at each bucket is as much as 4 bpm higher for that higher power. How can my HR at each bucket be higher if it’s at the same % threshold HR? My max HR hasn’t changed. What am I to understand from this chart? Is this evidence of increased threshold HR?
Thanks for the help,
Phil
You could try change the chart to “% Max HR” instead of “% threshold HR”? Have you changed your threshold HR much?
OK, changing to % Max HR lines up my current graph with past years. Honestly, I can’t recall changing my threshold HR manually. Does intervals.icu keep an historical record of that parameter? Does it ever set or change it automatically? If my threshold HR has increased would that make my current year numbers offset downward as in the attached chart?
Yes Intervals.icu keeps LTHR in settings for each sport and copies it onto every activity. It doesn’t update automatically but does prompt you to update if it thinks LTHR has gone up. If it goes up then % of LTHR will be lower on the chart.
