SkiErg activity

Will it be possible to add “SkiErg” or similar as an activity type?

Concept2 SkiErg is an indoor training equipment used to train/simulate polling in XC skiing. The equipment will give out data such as cadence, pace/distance, and watt. By default this is logged as Nordic Skiing on Strava.

It is true that it is related to Nordic Skiing / XC Skiing, but so is Roller Skiing as well – which is a separate activity type. My main reason for asking is that any pace records and watt records will be very different on the trainer vs skiing.

hi Hans , my was uplaoded as Nordic Ski , your uploads from ski/row in intervals.icu dont count “rest times” , in total time too?

Hi, I think the intervals are correct. At least I got 23:57 as total time for a session with 2 x 10 min with 4 min rest.

But an issue with the SkiErg is that it doesn’t sample at a fixed interval, but at every stroke (even for HR). So if you fully rest during your rest intervals you will have no samples. Also, if you have a stroke rate at 30-40 spm you will have a sample rate of around 2 per second.
