Is there a way to predict form?

1

All,
I love viewing the Fitness chart and watching how my Fitness, Fatigue, and form change but was wondering if there’s a way to predict Form.
For example, I did the Tuesday Night Worlds, and usually ride Thursdays and Saturday mornings but was wondering if there’s a way to view what my form would be on Saturday if I don’t ride on Thursday.
Hope I explained it ok.
Thanks

Plan your workouts on the calendar and use the ´Next Month´ range on the Fitness date range.
Fitness, Fatigue and Form will be predicted with the load from your planned workouts.
You can also project future fitness without planning any workouts and just see what will happen to the curves if you stop working out.

Hello @MedTechCD , do you know if there is a way to ignore planned activities’ load in the fitness curve?

Not that I know of. Can you explain your use case? There might be another way to achieve what you want.

Yes: so for example, I have two planned workouts for today, that I have not done yet. If I go on my fitness page, my form curve takes into account the expected loads of the planned workouts even though I have not done them and I might have real loads different from the planned ones. Does that makes sens?

I thought I once saw an “ignore load in fitness charts” but I cannot find it back so not sure I ever actually saw it…

You can ‘Ignore Load’ for executed activities from Actions - Settings if for example the calculated Load is off caused by a sensor problem. But you can’t do that for a planned workout.

Now I still don’t really understand what your problem exactly is. Trying to describe what I can deduct…

  • If you have 2 planned workouts, the Fitness curve (including Form) will show what the result would be once you executed both
  • When you complete the first workout, it will pair with one of the planned workouts and the planned load will be replaced by the load done. If pairing isn’t happening automatically, you can drag & drop to pair manually. Situation is now, one executed activity and one planned workout left. Fitness shows the result of all done + the remaining planned load.
  • Then you do the second one and exactly the same happens. Once paired, the real load will replace the planned
  • If, for some reason, one of the planned workouts can’t be done, the planned load will remain until midnight because you can still do it as long as the day isn’t over. Once past midnight, the planned load will be discarded since the planned workout wasn’t done.

That’s how the mechanism works. Where exactly do you need help?

Thank you for your explanation, I think I understand now that the fitness curve will always forsee the next day, with or without planned workout and adapt accordingly. Thanks for your clear explanation.
