Training duration

How can I change the duration (time) of the completed workout?
I did a workout at 17min, as shown in Suunto, but here it includes the time in the workout when I pressed pause.

Or how can I cut out this area?

I was wondering this the other day as well. My Garmin watch was paused while I chatted with a neighbour. Garmin Connect shows nothing for that duration but Intervals has it in the graph. Like @daniel_kashin, I’d prefer to edit it out completely.

I understand that this seems logical but there are some implications. Intervals is doing this the same way as Golden Cheetah and leaving the pauses in. Two things that come to mind:

  • W’ calculation will be wrong if you cut out pauses because the value recovers from where you are
  • If you stop and pause right after a hard effort (maybe a sprint to the finish line), HRRc will not be calculated because the data is not there.

Selections on the graphs will give you data with stops/pauses included. The overall speed/distance/moving time… leaves out stopped time.
If you have longer stops, you could consider splitting up in to two separate activities. Not trying to push trough my opinion but just making you guys aware that there are some caveats.

I wasn’t looking for a change to the regular method of auto-calculating. You point out why. It’s just that occasionally there’s a reason to remove a section completely (without affecting other items).

It’s not a big deal, TBH.

Intervals.icu usually displays moving time which excludes pauses. If the pause is long enough it will also be left out of the graph. So there is no way to edit it out but it shouldn’t cause any problems with stats.

Same but different issue here (which maybe should go as a bug report :man_shrugging:t2:)

A 1:04:30 hour indoor workout with a pause and a dropped out speed sensor (I actually changed rear wheels and speed sensors but I think my Edge 530 didn’t switch until I told it to, way later).

Intervals says it was a 17:32 minute workout though.

That busted velocity stream is causing the problem. Please try removing it (https://www.fitfiletools.com/) and doing a manual upload. I probably need to add support for that sort of thing in Intervals.icu.

Unfortunately, the problem remains. Perhaps the problem is in Suunto. It’s also possible that the heart rate monitor is always working, even when I press pause…
It has a bad effect on statistics, because the average pace of running becomes less.
If I could change the training time (how I can change the distance), then this could solve the problem globally.

Please post an Interval.icu link to that activity. Tx.

Suunto link - Daniil занимался(лась) бегом в течение 20.7 km

It’s fixed now. The velocity stream for activities with more than 20% “no velocity” was being ignored to fix another issue. I bumped that to 40%. Hopefully not too many people have more than 40% pauses in an activity.

That is not working, btw. I striped just speed, then speed and distance, but same result. Intervals is still showing the speed (and a 17minute workout). Maybe a caching thing?

Can you please post a link to the activity and I will have a look. Tx.

Looks like you’ve solved this anyway. Thanks so much!!! :smiley: :beers:

Me again :grin:
Speed sensor not connected for the first 36 minutes of a 3 hour workout and thus total duration is short.

Anything I can do to solve this myself to save you the hassle @david ?
Thanks!

Activity page - Actios - Settings - Tick Ignore Velocity Data.
Total time should now be accurate.

Bingo! Thank you. Did I miss that earlier in this thread? :thinking:

I seem to be having similar issues. This activity is 25.02 minutes…

But intervals turns it into something way shorter…

The “right” data is in the file though?

It improves when I tick the “Ignore velocity data” but the GAP is still not correct…
