@Ben_Snyder , the developer has added an integration with my Tymewear breathing sensor & ideally needs more than just me to test & debug it. If any contributors to this thread have a Tymewear sensor & are willing to help, then it would be much appreciated.
Also, it would be helpful for those with more knowledge of monitoring workouts using ventilation to suggest what metrics are most meaningful and which combinations would make sense for customised Tymewear views. These views could show a whole gamut of streamed metrics from e.g. power, HR, Tyme as well as other tiles that include computed fields. Then there are other tiles such as interval comparison, Spotify & Netflix. I have created a couple to cover short interval workouts & the longer, more steady state ones shown below. But Tymewear views would need different combinations to make the data useful, rather than misleading or a distraction. One of the tiles has been set up to mimic the Tymewear screen shown on a Garmin head unit or Garmin watch. But we have the screen space to offer more information, assuming that it is instructive.
The respiratory metrics are now live on the ride cave website & Ben has filmed an explanatory blog, including a video, to cover this new feature. Loading... | Ride Cave

How does Tymewear improve my training?
Tymewear improves your training by measuring what matters most: your body’s actual response to training. The chest strap detects your metabolic thresholds through breathing and translates them into personalized training zones. With a simple 20-minute ramp protocol, you’ll unlock a complete fitness profile including your aerobic threshold, balance point, anaerobic threshold, and VO2max. This isn’t just data – it’s your blueprint for optimal training
There is a very detailed & informative thread on the intervals Forum site that covers the Tymewear sensor & gives examples of what results can be achieved. I have loaded a test that I did & the contributors on that thread kindly helped with the analysis of it.
So it can function as a close approximation of the results that Lactate Testing can provide without the extra cost & commitment that Lactate Testing requires.
These are two custom view that are available on ride cave via the Tools/Views.
