Miniature of Non-Structured Workout in Calendar View

I appreciate the miniature view of workouts in the calendar view, and would like an option to extend this feature to non-workout activities as well. This could involve displaying the detected intervals in the same format as workouts.

The following screenshot illustrate how it could look. It shows two weeks of non-workout-structured training/indoor racing, where I exported all intervals from the Interval Data tab and converted the CSV data into the correct workout format using Elapsed Time and Intensity. Each auto-detected workout has been added to the corresponding activity. Using Intensity worked well, as it correctly used the appropriate zones for these older activities (unlike absolute power), even though my FTP has now lowered. It also chose heart rate when power data was not available.

It might be reasonable to distinguish between actual workouts and auto-detected intervals, although I am uncertain about how that could look. The method used to produce the screenshot also displays the “workout” within the activity itself, which is probably not desired.

That could be done. Intervals.icu already has an option to generate a workout from the intervals on an activity (drag the activity to a workout folder). The issue is those would need to be stored for performance reasons (can’t read all the power, HR and other traces to display the calendar) which would use up more space.

I did not know about that drag feature, that could have saved me some time! Although I still think it provides a great overview, I understand if it cannot be implemented due to the space footprint. I did not consider that the normal workouts are often reused.

The first version of this is live now. It uses the interval data to generate a skyline plot:

You can turn it on/off per sport (“Chart” checkbox) by doing Options → Colors on the calendar page:

The “Intervals” setting for the sport determines what is used for the intensity and zone:

I will do an announcement and generate these charts for existing activities once the initial bugs have been sorted out. To get these for old activities you need to re-analyze them.

Note that you need to be using “NORMAL” for the plot to be visible

This is an addition I didn’t know I wanted but it is really quite neat! The speed at which new stuff is added is really impressive

@Chris_Counsell said it perfectly, it’s something I didn’t know I wanted but is really cool! Great work, David!

Wow… Intervals is becoming mind-blowing ah ah…
TrainingPeaks we’re coming for you!

Is there a way to turn off the plan chart for a workout if this chart is showing? I end up with all my workouts having two charts and looking like this:

yes it is, as stated in the announcement. Options colors > disable chart.

Calendar > Options > Colors

Turn on or off by Sport

Turning this chart off is not exactly what I am looking for.
My usecase would be to have the structured workout chart show for unfinished activities and the extracted chart on completed activities. Currently it will also show the planned workout for completed activities.

Would be neat if you can toggle which of the two charts you want to see on completed activities.

If I am not mistaking that is also what @David_R is looking for.

Exactly this. I want the opposite of the option that is available. But only for completed activities.

Or ideally, if both are in place, and there are actual intervals on the workout, it automatically turns off the plan chart.

WKO is the analytical equivalent, which is tied to a laptop/desktop, and not in the cloud. Intervals is a combination of both apps, and works on mobile and a desktop; more versatility.

Very nice! I use intervals.icu since April last year and it rocks, now even better! Thanks! :slight_smile:

Hi all. Is there any way to get the graphics from Zwift workouts to show in the calendar, like this


or is that only available with workouts designed in workout builder? I’d find a graphical representation of completed workouts on Zwift a really useful addition. TIA for any responses.

if Zwift workouts are uploaded to intervals.icu with the FIT file which contains the structured workout, then intervals.icu can extract it for display.

I’m thinking that it’s highly likely that Zwift do not put it into the FIT file. (many apps don’t )

Thanks for that. I suspected that may be the case. I’ll have to do some more digging.

Randomly, these workout graphics have appeared in my calendar for two recent workouts. I haven’t made any changes, but I’ve noticed the two relevant sessions have interval data in the more detailed workout stats. I’m not sure why these two sessions have this included and all the others don’t! It’s what I want, but don’t know how to get this replicated for all workouts, other than performing a labourious manual edit.


@Douthers, if you are following the other forum conversation, @david is on it to get a slow running migration script in the background sorted. I assume once that is done, it gets applied to all your historical data.
