I recently came across intervals.icu und find the graphical display and way of presenting data to the user really extremely sophisticated and elegant. Good Job!
Indeed, I like it so much I think it could be helpful to use it from time to time (cough, sorry) even in addition to a stand alone analytics software I prefer (independent from Strava, independent from the web, years of data readily available on my own space in a performant way etc.)
In this regard also my first question is targeted. Being reliant on Strava data (which can’t be edited - in part for good reason, in other parts it’s just a hindrance) I do wonder: Where does the edited HR, power, cadence data go when using “edit data” in the activities view?
Say, I would want to correct a HR-Spike, include wattage from a secondary sensor or whatnot. Where would those data be stored? It wouldn’t get resynched to Strava, I’m rather certain. Or would I be wrong?
Thanks! The edited data is stored on the Intervals.icu server and unfortunately there is no way to get it back to Strava that I know of. There isn’t a Strava API call to update the data.
Thank you for clarifying. Yes, that was what I thought. On the one hand, Strava is nice and convenient. On the other hand, my true data resides inside my Golden Cheetah storage. There are all the corrected, repaired, truely calibrated, annotated data. From simple corrections, from the rarely needed spike removal, from switching out complete sensor data (when having had multiple streams recording) or from manually edited data (maybe added hike-a-bike Kilojoules etc. pp.). A data treasure Strava simply has not the means for and isn’t intended to provide (heck, it even just this spring got the ability to store a timeline of ftp values critical for a sound rendering of the “fitness” curve).
All no real problem since that is where “real” Training analysing software is for. But of course it hampers services like yours which use this data from Strava. But which is - in addition to your clever background algorithms - still a very good base for the big picture and in normal, run-off-the-mill workouts which need no editing, also have the perfectly fine data to work with and scrutinize.
Thanks. What you say about Strava is true but on the other hand not many people have years of data all nicely stored like you do. A lot of people have good history on Strava or can get their data there. Thats why Intervals.icu tries to automatically fix power spikes and so on, to clean up raw data from Strava.
