I uploaded an Indoor Ride (no-gps) on June 12th with a significant portion of the activity paused. The elapsed time from start to finish is around 2.5 hours but the actual moving time is just a touch under 48 minutes. However, intervals.icu, like Strava, uses the elapsed time as the moving time for this activity, while TrainingPeaks correctly disregards the paused time and uses 48 minutes as the moving time. The ride only recorded heart-rate, speed, and temp data (no gps) as it is hard to get even remotely reliable gps data from an indoor velodrome. I haven’t had the same issue on Strava or intervals.icu with outdoor (gps) rides.
Interestingly, the hrTSS/Load calculation by intervals.icu (43) is essentially the same as TrainingPeaks (44). But the activity length in intervals.icu is still incorrect which also throws off weekly training time, etc.
As a side-note: given that activity “type” can be set to MTB, Gravel, Indoor, and Ride. It would be great if Track was also an option for those of us who like to stick to left turns
Unfortunately “ignore time” creates more problems than it solves.
Now my weekly training time is still incorrect, but distance, training load, and calories are all wrong too. Unless i’m missing something, this doesn’t solve any problems, it just makes more.
There is speed data. So that is likely the reason why.
Indoor should be recorded w/o gps data. Are you recording w/ GPS enabled? WHere does the speed comes from?
It´s indoor but on a track, not on a trainer!
I´m affraid there´s no solution for this situation at the moment.
If the activity had Power, it would be correct…
I would really just like for intervals.icu to treat the paused time in indoor (no-gps) activities exactly the same way it treats outdoor (gps) activities. By default, intervals.icu shows the “moving time” in the “calendar view” on the activities page and uses that “moving time” for the weekly training time shown on the same page. If we switch to the “row view” on the activities page to instead see a list of all activities, we can add a column for “elapsed time” aka the total time an activity took.
At the moment, intervals.icu is using “elapsed time” as the “moving time” and is not taking into account any pauses. I show this in the second screenshot of my post where “moving time” and “elapsed time” are the same, despite this obviously not being the case when viewing the activity in the first screenshot.
This is not how any normal (gps) activity is treated by intervals.icu. By default, intervals.icu shows and uses the “moving time” not the “elapsed time”. You can see this in the screenshot below:
The activity in green is an outdoor ride (w/ GPS) while the activities in red are all indoor track rides (no GPS). The former ride is able to properly distinguish between “moving time” and “elapsed time” while the indoor track rides are not. If you call that treating it like a race, then yes, I would like for intervals.icu to treat is like a race. But being able to properly detect “moving time” is already the default behaviour for intervals.icu on rides with GPS, I would just like the same for rides without GPS too.
What i’m asking for, is also what TrainingPeaks already does, it detects the pauses properly, and only counts the actual “moving time”. Below is a screenshot of the same activity as my original post, but shown in TrainingPeaks, with the correct time (0:47:55 not 2:25:25).
(interestingly training load is the as intervals.icu)!
It just seems that Strava and Intervals.icu are not able to do this for some reason. Hence why it’s in the “Bug Reports” category. Maybe it could alternatively be interpreted as a “Feature Request” for intervals.icu to support pauses on non-GPS activities. Alternatively, even just being able to manually change the training time for an activity (again… like TrainingPeaks) would be somewhat of a hack-y workaround.
sorry. was confused as to the request. I think I’m clear now. Have reverted the title of the post.
“Race Mode” is basically to take into account the entire ride as a race. Pauses and all. Whatever is the time between pressing start and pressing stop at the finish line is the time.
