Hey,
When I plan a Triathlon Plan in Trainerroad with swim, bike and run it will sync correctly to the intervals calendar and show the correct description and duration. It will also display correctly in the totals of the calendar week. However i cannot see it in the “Fitness” View under the “Swim Bike Run Hours” plot. Is this a bug from the import or on the intervals backend?
BR and thanks in advance!
It has never been implemented.
Give David some time to get a hold on the rest of the stuff.
Take a swim.
No Problem. I can wait (and take a swim) 
Anyway, I love this site/service, don’t meant to be pushy 
Actually, maybe specially for triathletes, the “Follow” option Intervals.icu had from the beginning, might be one of the more useful features.
As in other sports, bragging comes easily, but with us mainly in terms of equipment. With actual achievements, event times are registered as are DNF and DNS.
What we never know, but from blogs and books and talks, have been how other triathletes are actually training. To my knowledge it does not come better than by “Following” others here. You actually get the same information as you get from your own training.
Try it.
( And no, please, not me. I’m in triathlon but are already following 24 others all with ages above 55 … )
I have just fixed this. Workouts without training load were being left off the chart. Tx.
Is there any issue with the Swim workouts? Is this happening to someone else? The time in the pool is zero and the load is very low. I do have my Swim FTP in my settings. Everything is okay in Garmin Connect and Strava. When this was only strava never had an issue in swim or open water swim
Thanks
That swim has HR data which is used for the load calc. However it is mostly zero (looks like as soon as you got in the pool) so not helpful. I have changed the code to ignore the HR data for load calc and hence use swim FTP if the ignore HR box has been ticked (click the cog icon under the ride timeline chart). Will deploy TM.
Thanks for the solution, looks a great idea because normally the HR in the water is far away from real.
This is great, would it be possible to allow for retroactively updating some or all previous swims to use the swim FTP for loading calculation?
It’s not so easy to do that especially since it looks like yours have real HR data. Is swim FTP better for load even if real HR data is available? If so I need to add a setting to always use it for swims, even those with HR data.
Appreciate the response. It seems that swim FTP/critical velocity is the standard used for calculating swim pacing/load based on what I have seen online.
I do see this thinking echoed in various places.
“Heart rate is useful in cycling and running because it helps triathletes avoid the single most common training mistake: pushing too hard in workouts that are supposed to be done at low intensity (Zones 1 and 2). But heart rate is not a reliable way to monitor intensity during short efforts at high intensity because heart rate lags behind abrupt changes in pace. HR for a given effort is also easily influenced by environmental factors, such as temperature, and is impractical to measure in real time when swimming. HR is only an indicator of how your body is responding to training, it is not an output or outcome.”
(Intensity Guidelines for 80/20 Triathlon – 80/20 Endurance)
Honestly I don’t really know which is better and was just planning on experimenting between the two and comparing with RPE.
This is in Garmin
But in intervals.icu i get this and the pace and load is way wrong.
Is there any setting i can change?
I have fixed this and will deploy Wed AM (GMT+2). Your .fit file had an extra set of records, one for each length that was causing some trouble.
