Better plan tracking?

This would be brilliant.

I didn’t understood the activity overview page so wasn’t aware I could use it for planning (future) workouts, but now that I know I think it’s brilliant and would love to see the merge feature similar to how TP does it.

Since discovering Intervals.icu allows planning workouts I’ve already ditched both Trainingpeaks and Trainerroads. The text-based workout creator combined with the export feature to my Garmin Edge is just brilliant.

Making progress with this. Should be live on Friday. Activity and workout not paired:

Yes, I agree your approach is good and will even be better than the way TP does it. They don’t seem to have any logic to their automated pairing from my experience, although I do still like how TP does it as long as I am actually doing the workout I was supposed to do :slight_smile: But really I am not a serious plan follower so I am not the best judge of this, but I have studied it a lot :slight_smile:

Will trainerday add running and swimming classes to the schedule in the future? I have many partners who need classes that involve heart rate, power, and pace. Very much looking forward to it!

The first version of this is now live. Completed activities and planned workouts are paired if the difference between the training load or moving time (or elapsed time) is within 50% of the planned workout value. You can drag and drop planned workouts to pair or unpair.

As you can see I have also changed the compliance display. You get a green tick (80-120%), orange tick (50-150%) or red cross (<50% or >150%). Going to be doing more work on that on the weekend.

You can control the new behaviour in “Options” (@Gato_Felix ):

Because I had never used TP I was afraid of loosing the workouts charts graphics but no. Well done.
Workout compliance is very informative for “tracking” but not for “plan”…
As I’ve already mentioned before for the weekly summary I see no point because I’ll adjust( hoping for the best :slight_smile: ) my next workout(s) to match my week need regardless of past failures.
For exemple: this week I need a 557 TSS but because I failed my VO2max work from 180 to 147 TSS I’ll adjust Saturday planned workout in order to catch up.
So still my suggestion is to be able to “enter target values for the week” and compare the workouts&Paired to that number.
Some images to illustrate.
Current situation:


This 73% compliance is meaningless (for me).
The way it is I now I have to add 21TSS (557 (my target) - 536 (actual)) to Saturday´s workout in order to meet planned TSS ( but not TID because I have not intention to do another VO2 session in a week).
So the new snapshot will be:

Now I have adjusted my last workout to meet my need of 557.
Also @david I believe the 70% compliance to be wrong. I have done 407TSS over a 557TSS target . that would be 73% compliance and not 70%.

Best regards,

Second that, weekly targets - similar to TPs long term plan would be very nice

Is there any way to plan also the distance?

I am going to do weekly targets. That has been on the todo list for a long time and isn’t hard.

@pzolnierek I hadn’t considered distanced because most people plan by time (well for cycling anyway). I will think about that a bit.

Again !? Another great feature added !? :star_struck:

I’m not yet getting the compliance ticks, is there a delay before it’s available on any account/browser/location ?

Tx. You need to tick “Show compliance to plan” in options.

Oops, sorry, I confused it with the one on the Activity page…

Targets dialog has started (not live yet!):

Still not sure about distance. It’s easy to show completed distance but not planned. I have no idea how far a given athlete might get at 200w for 1h etc.

Why not treat distance and power goals separately? Strava has weekly and yearly distance goals, and many people who don’t have power meters I know, measure their progress in weekly and yearly km ridden.

They are separate. The complication comes in when you add planned workouts to the calendar. I will show how close the plan gets to your targets for load and/or time but can’t do that for distances. I suppose thats ok.

Ok, are you able to show the total distance per week?

Yes it does that already for completed activities.

Any plans for entering TID breaking down?

Tks

I hadn’t thought about that. If you are doing say “polarised” does it vary by week? I am going to add notes to the targets so you could put something in there,

I’m trying to copy and past it here with no success.
Any doubt don’t hesitate in asking.
