Hi,
I am wondering if it is posible to compare intervals from different session.
I’ve done the same training session a different timne and i’d like to compare the identified intervals to see my progression.
In each of those session, I named the same interval with the same name .
You can do this on the /intervals (search) page. It won’t show you the names but you can fill in the power and/or duration and it will find similar intervals and compare. Its a little buggy (was one of the first things in Intervals.icu and a revamp is on the todo list).
I tried the intervals page , it helps but it is not optimal, since it is grabing unrelated intervals when I enter the search criteria Time=10m.
I cannot use power as search criteria since the power gap between my 2 session of the micro-burst interval are too big, greater thatn 10%
So i think a feature request will be to earch by interval name, that make comparaison and monitoring of progression way easier !. Since we can already name an interval, I think a search by interval name is a very nice feature
I include an image of the search I did to illustrate my explanation.
I am wondering about this as well. For instance, I would like to compare my rides up Alp du Zwift. How do I do that? Where do I name that section of a ride for instance?
Hello,
as @david David has already said, currently only units that correspond to the identical scheme can be compared. For example: 4m intervals at 300W. Since such units are trained again and again over weeks in a classic training, progress can be recognised very well via the tool - if there is any
Here are two examples of my 4m intervals and 30/30s sessions:
@Swen_Zeller I totally understand what David said and that the search is limited to the units listed.
But as I illustrated, the search pick some unrelated intereval.
The interval session I did is the Zwift Hunter’s Micro burst which consist of 3 sets of 20 x (15sec at 150% FTP with 15 sec rest ) I can hardly finish the 2nd and 3rd set, and I can hardly reach the required power .
My goal is to do the same training session over time until I can do it correctly and eventually rise my power . The ability to see the progression on that HIT session is helpful and source of motivation !
For key workouts and key monitoring, I still have a spreadsheet. I find interesting to monitor the NP/HR aka EF during the interval as a good clue of progress, monitoring power alone makes not a lof sense for me as a long distance triathlete
And I merely rename my workouts with the EF in the title to see evolution in a glance looking at the calendar
Hi,
in addition to the requests above it could be helpful to have a “ride-type” filter on the interval search tab to distinguish between road and virtual rides. That will allow to differentiate between N x Xsec intervals found by the program on a road ride with random “rest periods” vs the same N x Xsec intervals done in a trainer session with controlled/equal rest periods in between the work intervals.
In a separate (but similar) vain such a filter could be a good addition on the compare tab, enabling the option to compare progressions, totals and other metrices between ride types - e.g. TIZ, Power/HR compared between indoor and outdoor.
P.S.
I’m aware of the existing filter option in the compare chart. I meant to have “ride-type” chips at the top (as for season) so the comparison would be within each chart.
In a custom chart
Best Power - 3m, as is, dots.
In the All Activities dropdown, select “tags”, and then select your tag SFT, assuming you tag the workout. It will then display a list of workouts corresponding to that criteria.
The results is a quick glance of when these workouts were done.
Makes finding them easier, but then comparing requires opening two browsers.
I’m not looking for comparing the workout, but rather progression/improvements.
This one is TiZ (hours) for the left axis, and is partially incomplete as I haven’t (retrospectively) tagged every workout.
Here are my settings (because it’s testing, the description has the tag #test added to each workout; see workout details below), so it only shows data with the tag and duration.
