How training load estimation from HR works

That would mean nested equipment or more than one “gear” per activity - as of now this is neither supported nor on a short list of todos (at least that was the status the last time I asked)

so in your case having “board” as component would be the way to go → that way you create different “gear” elements for all combinations and have “board” and “paddle” both as components to that “gear”

that way the individual components (board, paddle) get time tracked base on which “gear” (or rather setup) you chose for that activity.

You can get distance per stroke for intervals. Click the search button:

Re the equipment having more than one gear per activity is probably what you need. I might do that at some point but it does complicate quite a lot of stuff.

I have made SUP count for cardio by default. That sounds like a bit of work!

great David, thank you so much!

No worries about the gear, it’s not super important, thank you anyways!

thank you for your reply! well, the point would be to have the chance to choose the gear used in each activity, board and paddle. I hope one day we can get it!

Hi David!

do you know why the same training looks so different in two different athletes? is that normal?

I’d like to hear (discuss) a little more about the science behind this: take for example hot yoga: it doesn’t increase cardiovascular fitness? I agree with strength training but I’m not really sure I agree with the sentence that heart rate only goes up because of thoral pressure.

Heart rate goes up because your muscles need to work harder.

I get why weight lifting is not aerobic, but why rock climbing? Isn’t that mainly just lifting your own weight slowly up a cliff face using either your leg muscles (preferably) or your arm muscles, (or any muscles you can, come to think of it)?
p.s. Beginning to really get into what you have done!

One of the biggest challenges is the farther away you get from output measurements related to a sport specificity, the more difficult it is to aggregate TSS with hrTSS since hr is an input to the body system vs an output result of various body systems engaging in the sport movement… . Using power TSS or pace run TSS, swimTSS wrto a reference pace/power tries to improve by focusing on output (which incorporates movement efficiency). It may be simplistic, but considering simple RPE after doing the sport and trying to normalize this effort related to other sport efforts based on hr might re reasonable…or maybe simply considering RPE to be the normalizer for effort (RPE–> TSS) is a reasonable attempt. It’s hard to get around the specificity aspect effects. There might be some Triathlete research that delves deeper into this?
