Intervals currently shows a potential fitness graph based on planned workouts. I’ve used this feature in the past to help predict fitness 1 - 3 months ahead to help me get in tip top shape when summer rolls around.
This year I’d like to plan an entire year to be even better prepared. To use the potential fitness however I’d have to schedule workouts for an entire year, which is unrealistic and tedious.
That’s why I’d like to request an addition to the potential fitness graph to be able to base it on weekly training load as I already know these values through my ATP and this would be a lot less tedious to input.
You can just do a math.
Let’s say you want a monthly CTL ramp of 4,5,6 ( depending on your age and initial fitness). Multiply by your months of training left and you have it.
It’s expected an AVERAGE gain of 70/80 on a year off course not indefinitely.
This might be achievable by using the “weekly training load target” metric that was introduced. Perhaps an option on the Fitness graph to plot this training load target on the basic premise of taking the total target and dividing it by 7 to get a daily load which is then plotted.
I appreciate that this wont truly reflect the specifics of differences in daily load from different types of workouts but it would show a projection of CTL and thus help one “shape” the year ahead somewhat, in the absence of filling out individual workouts.
Not yet but I am doing a lot of work around planning at the moment. I am going to move future fitness, freshness etc to the wellness records and compute it server side instead of client side. That will also make it available via the API.
I will try make a plan.
