Age group weight and training time on /power page

Oh, I may add that I did only one outdoor cycling activity with a powermeter, yesterday. Could it have something to do?

I did some poking around and didn’t find anything obvious. I am away at the moment (cell phone internet). I will be home on Sunday and then I can download your data and figure this out.

Hi,

Not sure that it’s in fact due to a corrupt file. Since last week I recorded some cycling activities, and each time the charge/week and duration/week numbers went down. went from 697 h/wk last week to 235 h/wk today

No hurry, absolutely not a critical issue. I just thought it was worth noting :slight_smile:

Where“s your data originating from?
Any manual activities entered, with maybe erratic data?

Almost exclusively recorded with Garmin watches since 2009, maybe a few via the Strava phone app when the watch was discharged.

I also suspected some corrupted datas. As David suggested I filtered the whole activity list to find which one was introducing false values, but without success. I’ll try again, but in any case I can live with it.

FWIW something seems off for my data too, unless I’m misunderstanding the graphs. Both the hours/week and load/week seem too low. I generally work out 1hr per day, 6 days per week, relatively strenuous, plus strength work. Garmin has me at ~700 to ~1400 training load (excluding strength, which I enter in intervals manually). But the graphs have me at ~1.5 hrs per week, with a weekly load of ~73. That training load value seems closer to my daily average than my weekly.

2 remarks:

  • These graphs are on the power page. They only count activities for that specific category and only if they have power data. If you ride and run, you will have the hours/week for the ride on the Ride Power tab and those for run on the Run Power tab.
  • Garmin Training load is totally different compared to TSS. Garmin Training load is based on epoch and is on a different scale compared to load in Intervals which is TSS. You can’t compare absolute values from two different metrics.

Hey David is it possible to allow users to toggle these off? Weight in particular can be an iffy thing for cyclists and can lead to eating disorders.

Agree, and if anything I find the load/hours per week comparisons demotivating. I’d rather turn them off/hide them.
