Season best power - how much did I improve?

When I manage a season best power, my immediate question is invariably “what was it before? Did I improve by 1, 2 or 27 watts?” And as far as I can tell, the answer is not immediately obvious. Maybe I just missed it.

Some possible ways I can think of where this information could be made available:

  • The “Nice ride!” mail could include the info
  • The little “stickers” could include it in the title/tooltip text (“New season best power: Xw for Ym, previous: Yw”)
  • The “This Season” column on the Activity Power page might have the previous value listed, maybe as a tooltip over the new value, or some other way of indicating that the “This season” best was in fact from this ride (and convey the data of the previous best)
  • The Power Curve graph could have an “Up to, but not including, this ride” option that would let you gauge what sort of progress this ride brought. Might get tricky to convey if viewing activity that is not the most recent.

The first two options seem simplest and least intrusive to existing functionality.

Thats a good idea and now on the todo list. Shouldn’t be too hard.

Seconding this: I’m looking for context / comparison with most data achievements.

Maybe I should start a new thread on this, but also: an additional tool tip or in the quick descriptions for numerical values that quickly reminds me “higher is better” or “lower is better” for things like HRRc, Power/HR, Efficiency, etc.

I was just looking for that, I like your last point of having the option to not inlcude a certain day (being able to choose a day so that you can check whenever you want). Or it could also be done by showing the day and wattage of the previous best, maybe easier?
