Sport settings progress (for running power etc.)

Still some way to go but quite a bit is working. Some screenshots from my laptop:

The zones are completely configurable now (number, ranges and names etc.).

It looks awesome, thanks again for your work!
Is it also planned to use the configured zones for planning workouts. Eg 5m @ Zone 2 running pace…

Tx. Yes it is. But I need to get this basic work out the door first. It involves many changes all over Intervals.icu.

Looks amazing, it seems that it have everything.

If you want to add a How to link for people that want to learn how to know their zones, i would suggest A Quick Guide to Setting Zones | Joe Friel

That is already linked in the settings

Looks awesome! Why is run pace on the cycling tab?

I am trying to generalise everything so any sport (collection of activity types) can have power, HR and/or pace stuff. I might disable pace for cycling specifically. That does look a bit weird.

I fear I’ve asked this before - so apologies if I have - but still trying to get my head around Sports vs Activities.
I believe you’ve said Activities are linked to Strava categories. And you allow combining activities under one sport. But you can’t create a new Sport arbitrarily.
I was thinking that since my kung fu workouts -which are captured as Cardio in Garmin - come in as Workout, I could create a new sport and then put Workout activity under that. But I can’t create a new name.
Nor can you just move an activity from one sport to another - at least not without deleting the sport it’s currently under. If I try to remove “Workout” activity from “workout” sport - I’m not allowed to do that. I think I’d have to delete the sport - but not sure what that would do to existing recorded activities.

Of course, I could use a different classification to capture in Garmin - I guess I just need to figure out what maps to what.

I think the goal would be to have kung fu come in with an activity type that doesn’t also get used for other things due to some built in mapping. I was going to use Yoga for tai chi (even though they’re almost opposite - holding poses vs never stopping) - but on my Fenix, Yoga wants to record each pose as an event.

I’m also trying to understand the value of combining activities if you can’t rename the container sport. For instance - it might make sense to have 3 types of skiing combined under “Skiing” - but one needs to keep the name of one of those activities for the Sport, so that feels counter-intuitive.

Very possibly I’m overthinking this.
My old kung fu teacher at this point would tell me I punch like his grandmother and I should just go practice something 1000 times and stop asking questions.

Currently Intervals.icu uses Strava activity types and maps sport and subsport fields from fit files to those types. The sport settings lets you group activity types together and give them all the same zones and so on. Each “sport settings” applies to a list of activity types and they can’t overlap. The “Other” settings are used if nothing else matches.

The name of a “sport settings” displayed on the tab is just the first activity type in its list.

So your strategy of picking some other activity type to use for kung fu is probably the way to go.

Thanks for taking the time to explain this David.
