Intervals.icu expects to find power like this:

   <trkpt lat="-33.9361260" lon="18.4266640">
    <ele>85.0</ele>
    <time>2021-02-23T04:45:37Z</time>
    <extensions>
     <power>245</power>
     <gpxtpx:TrackPointExtension>
      <gpxtpx:atemp>23</gpxtpx:atemp>
      <gpxtpx:hr>101</gpxtpx:hr>
      <gpxtpx:cad>66</gpxtpx:cad>
     </gpxtpx:TrackPointExtension>
    </extensions>
   </trkpt>

I have added support for <gpxtpx:watts> (overrides <power> if both present) and will deploy Tues AM (GMT+2).

Awesome, thanks for answering and adding the support so quickly. Iā€™d just about come to the same conclusion about the expected format through trial and error but youā€™ve saved me a job updating the tool my end :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi everyone,

I do trail running and I like to prepare for my races by analyzing the course in detail beforehand. I usually download the GPX track of the race and break it down into uphill and downhill segments to study gradients, elevation gain, length, etc. This helps me plan specific workouts based on what Iā€™ll encounter on race day.

What Iā€™d like to do is upload the GPX to Intervals.icu just for analysis, without having it count as one of my own activities or affecting my stats.

I tried uploading it using the ā€œUPLOADā€ button in the calendar, but I canā€™t seem to find the file anywhere afterwards.

So here are my questions:

  • How can I upload a GPX just for route/course analysis, not as a recorded activity?
  • Once uploaded, where can I find and view it?
  • And how can I delete it once Iā€™m done analyzing?

Thanks a lot in advance for any help!

Use another tool to do that kind of thing. Intervals has no course building/analysing tools. An upload of a gpx file will only show if it also has HR/Power data in it.
You could try BRouter web client which has plenty of available maps and allows detailed analysis of elevation/gradient/lengthā€¦
Itā€™s my preferred tool but Iā€™m sure there are lots of alternatives.
