Fitness and fatigue for different activity types

CHeck this thread to see the calculation on how much training load needed to push the numbers Up / Dn.

Here’s a quick example on load needed to move the needle.

w/o any training load for Mon/Tues, your Fitness automatically drops by up to 3pt on Tues
.
Then look at the 2nd pic, you did 2 runs at 50 Load, this just maintains your fitness level (at 49) but your Fatigue continues to go down.

For the last pic, you see that in order for you to see an increase in your FIT values, you need a load of 75.

Hope that helps. Typically for a Training plan, its 3 weeks ON, 1 weeks OFF, wherebyy you progressively load your system for the 3 weeks w/ increasing LOAD and then back off for the 4th week.

Hope that helps.

It just occured to me that your SETTINGS page shows HR / Pace / Power as the Load Priority. And your HR from that Run is showing up as 147bpm which is basically your Z1 range. I believe this is the reason your efforts are not being recognised. You’re using HR for load calculation. Try changing it to using Pace.

Aside: Man,.. I wish I can run at 4+ min pace and hit Z1 HR… you’re really super duper fit.. i"m struggling to hit my Z2 runs at 8++ min pace..
