Exactly. I made the choice to show % rather than absolute because it makes more sense for the majority of cases. An absolute value of 20 could be a huge increase in training volume for someone less trained, but only a gradual increase for someone with higher fitness.
I could probably add this to the settings menu as a configurable option pretty easily, I’ll look in to it.
Hi James
Maybe stupid question but how does the number and % relate? For example my current form is on -7 on intervals.icu but -23% on the widget.
I’m just trying to relate what a fresh % would look like. I normally try and be around a +10 for a race
Form = Fitness - Fatigue and can be expressed as an absolute value or as a percentage of Fitness.
Example
Fitness = 40
Fatigue = 60
Form = -20 (green zone) or -50% (red zone)
I really think % should be the recommendation in this example when you think about ramp rate and progressive overload principles. But hey, it’s an option so I’ll add the option to the widget.
It’s updated immediately once it is displayed as long as there is a connection to your phone. When you say it doesn’t match, do you mean significantly? I think I may do the rounding slightly differently to the site, as form is retrieved as an absolute value and I convert it in to a percentage within the widget code.
on watch -14% Form and on intervals.icu -13 Form, before i haven’t checked there is a option field “Absolute value / Percentage of fitness”, so this could be a rounding thing and is OK for me, really great to have this widget!
Hi,
Awsome job with this widget. Currenlyt running on FR945. Displays incorrect data in ramp and form, but the others (fitness, fatigue, load and eFTP) are ok. You can see the difference here:
Go to the athlete overview page rather than the calendar, and ensure ‘this week’ is selected. Do the values now match?
As @app4g mentioned, you are showing an absolute value for form rather than %. This can be configured in the widget settings, although I recommend using % anyway.
