Tracking xxx Power vs yyy HR

My apologies if this already possible and i’ve overlooked it.

It would be interesting to analyze the trend in power vs a fixed HR and the other way around.
The xxx Power and yyy HR values used for the comparisons could be configured in the Settings.
Since we have the data for 60s power and lag HR from the ("Seiler-) Decoupling chart under Activity Power, the algorithm would simply be:
For each ride do

  • find all data points were 60s power = xxx Power (± 2%)
  • compute the average HR for these data points
  • find all data points where HR = yyy HR
  • compute average 60s Power for these points

These metrics could then be displayed against each ride and also over time in the fitness chart or compare tab.

It could be extended to select multiple xxx Power values (80% FTP, FTP, 120% FTP for instance) to see where the most progress has been made.

It could be interesting to see the effect of blocks of MICT, HIT, HIIT, polarized, etc on these metrics to find the most effective training regime.

Intervals.icu already calculates avg HR, avg cadence, duration in minutes vs power (5w buckets) for each ride. These data points are HR lag adjusted and only 100% moving data is kept. This is the info used to construct the power vs HR chart on the /compare page.

I think that chart does a lot of what you are asking for. You can compare months and read off bpm for different power easily.

I would be nice to be able to plot avg HR for a given power over time on the /fitness page. I have added that to the todo list. You can plot “Power/HR in Z2” on that page.

Hi David,
Thanx, I realise now that a very close solution is already there, like you say.

Given that your to-do list must be quite long, perhaps best to push this request way down …

Cheers
