Planned workout power/HR/pace vs actual

The power, heart rate and pace charts on the activity timeline chart now show traces from the planned workout when one is paired:

You can adjust the offset in “Options” (“Workout” slider) to get the planned workout to lineup with the actual activity:

Great Work, THANKS!

So happy to see this!

Beautiful !
Question: would it be worth to use another color to have more contrast between the curves of the planned workout and the actual ride ? When they match closely, you can’t really distinguish one from the other; on the other side, maybe they would step on each other if there was too much contrast !?

Great update. Does this work with Trainer Road planned workouts? I’m looking at my workouts, e.g., 9/2/21 McAdie +1, and don’t see the TR intervals in the planned workout.

Unfortunately Intervals.icu doesn’t get the workout file from the TR calendar export. Just enough to extract the TSS and duration.

Does this work if you’ve uploaded the “plan” workout AFTER the workout has actually been completed/uploaded?

I tried this, this morning. I picked an MRC workout file from my BreakAway App, Finished the workout, it auto-synced to Strava and then got pulled into Intervals.icu.

ONLY then I uploaded the actual MRC to intervals.icu. I don’t see the workouts lined up tho.

I then tried an experiment. I deleted all workouts and plan.

  1. Manual Upload Completed Workout

  2. Manual Upload MRC workout
    → nothing gets lined up / is present (like your screenshot above)

  3. delete the Completed workout (MRC workout still there)

  4. RE-upload the completed workout
    → It works now.

Yes the planned workout needs to be on Intervals.icu already. You can manually pair (drag planned workout onto activity) if you create the workout after the activity.

Hi @david, there is an issue for “freeride” intervals, these are not taken into account in the chart as you can see in this activity : Intervals.icu
Both the first 15min freeride interval and the last 15min freeride one are not shown in the graph, which starts with the first intensity interval.

Thank you !!

Martial

Fixed. Tx for the report.

Sorry to bump this old announcement, but it seems this does not handle pauses very well.
I did a workout that was rather high in spikes and needed some unscheduled recovery time to gather myself :skull: . The planned power keeps going over the time where my HR is still being recorded but my workout self paused due to lack of cadence.


I mean, the workout didn’t go as planned, but it would match up more than it looks if it took account of pauses.

Well, you didn’t follow the workout as planned. It shouldn’t magically say you did.

It’s okay to not go exactly to plan! Just don’t ask the software to lie about it :slight_smile:

sure, but it would be nice if we could toggle a “update target workout with as completed” because some pauses are inserted on the road to align with terrain and traffic (and have no impact on workout intent).

While I appreciate that it’s not exactly what was planned, I think it’s fair to re-align based on moving time, that’s not asking it to make up data but rather align on a different but non linear time (already used for a myriad of other metrics in intervals.icu). I still completed the workout, and as noted above there can be reasons to not be moving but still overall be doing the structured workout.

I think I get what you are asking for. There’s a slider called pauses or something like that. That will show or collapse pauses.

Does that work for your use case? If pauses > say 1m is set , this will make the graph “hide” that 1’ paused block. I think.

I don’t use auto pause. Ever. I only start when I start and end when the workout / sessions ends.

That doesn’t work for me. Here are some 4x3-min(3m) intervals interrupted by construction:

And intervals

Garmin shows target as completed, including where I messed up the rewind during the aborted 3rd interval.

That does not seem to affect the offset of the workout after a pause in the activity, as shown below.

I admit… I do not know how this works or whether it works (for your use case). I guess it doesn’t work.

I don’t pause my workouts, so. I do not have the same experiences as you. (I only do my structured workouts indoors)

You can’t do what you’re after because the Workout plan is inserted as a fixed stream.
You can only move the whole stream left or right.
