This page was intended to be a guide to using the fitness page. There is another discussion on “staying in the green” which has an overlap of the fitness chart, i.t.o. it’s also deceiving if not interpreted correctly. Perhaps we can move the extended discussion to a similar topic or start another.
Good morning, I am a runner who sometimes rides a bike, but since the bike rides are long and slow I get all my fitness graphs messed up, I would like to know if it is possible to ignore the bike activities in the graph and have a fitness graph that only includes running activities.
Thanks
There are a couple of ways to do this.
-
You can ignore training load from your bike activities. This will make it so that these activities don’t count towards your Fitness/Fatigue and will not affect the default Fitness chart . You can do so by selecting Actions → Settings → Ignore time and distance:
This can be done in bulk through the Activities list page by selecting Edit → Update Settings → Ignore time and distance:
-
You can create a custom chart that will calculate Fitness/Fatigue solely for Running activities:
Notice that the Activity type filter is set to “Run” instead of “All activities”.
Wow! You are awesome, you did a super explanation with images!
Now everything works the way I want it to, thank you very much tlgs!!!
It’s a note. Look on your calendar for a note cover a few days.
Got it, thank you!
There are some ‘tutorial’ video’s on YouTube but not by me.
Just search ‘intervals.icu’ on YouTube and check them out. Come back here on the forum with your questions.
First thing to do if you want to see any graph, is getting your data in. Upload, Strava, Garmin, Coros, …
Next is probably setting up the zones for your sport(s).
Is there an easy way to move along the date range in the fitness graph? ie if its currently set to 90 days, to jump to the previous 90 days etc. ? Or even slide the graph in time?
Not at the moment. You need to use the date picker at the top of the page.
Thanks.
At some point in the future would be great to have a left and right arrow to be able to jump along the timeline according to current displayed range. And ability to zoom in and out of time would be useful too.
Bit like this (for the movement part)
I agree that the ability to scroll and zoom would be a very nice and useful feature.
Here’s an article that gives you a good idea of what certain absolute Fitness (CTL) numbers mean regarding the performance level you’re at.
On the Fitness page, for a day on which there is an activity recorded, do fitness, fatigue and form correspond to the values before or after the activity was completed?
Fitness, Fatigue and Form always represent the state including the day’s finished and planned activities.
If something was planned but not executed, the planned load will be discarded at midnight.
Regarding Form, there’s a difference with what TrainingPeaks (and others) are displaying. In Intervals it is the result of today’s Fitness - today’s Fatigue while most other platforms use yesterday’s Fitness - yesterday’s Fatigue.
i set fitness and fatigue on 20 june based on strava data but the PMC, it doesn’t update itself with the added data. Displaying it, on 20 june, it report 0 fitness.
How can i solve it?
@david I confirm that this is no longer working. It used to work before but can’t tell since when it isn’t anymore. Just tried and refreshed the page several times. The calendar entry is there but has no effect on the fitness chart.
shifting the fit e fat set forwrd it work. then i decided to remove a pre set and following the data based on thre month strava activities.
Thanks Giacomo
Hmm. I tested this with my own data and it worked. @MedTechCD I also tested on your calendar and a “Set Fitness=100 fatigue=50” on the 14th of October worked fine. What did you do when you tested it?
Tried again. Entered 65/59 on september 20, then checked Fitness page. Nothing happened, refresh doesn’t help.
Moved the calendar entry to Sep 19 and back to Sep 20, then it appeared right away on the fitness chart.
Then deleted the entry on the calendar and that update was immediately seen on the Fitness chart. I mean, it went back to normal without any refresh.
Tried again on sep 20, nothing changes on fitness chart. Moved it to sep 21 and it appeared…
The first one was through the + icon - set fitness days; entered the values and date.
The last one was by clicking on the date itself.
EDIT: I made a new entry on sep 19 and closed the browser tab. Reopened and it still doesn’t appear. Will leave it in there until you checked.
@david Yesterday evening, the Fitness chart still wasn’t updated with the entered values. Today it is.
Removing the entry, immediately changes the chart.
