Workout time on a ride

I noted that Intervals measure your intensity, avg HR etc over the entire “elapsed time” of a MTB workout - not on the “moving time”. E.g. in a four hour ride, there could be some stops we make to wait for slower riders, where Intervals then count the low heart rate (when I am stationery) as part of the workout, intensity etc. I would prefer it to calculate all the stats on moving time only.

For HR based training load it calculates intensity using the recording time for the activity which is the total time for the activity with recording gaps (pauses) longer than 30s removed. So if you turn on auto pause on your device you will get something similar to what you are asking for.

For non-power load intensity is derived from load as follows:

double hours = secs / 3600.0;
double f = load / (hours * 100.0);
return Math.sqrt(f) * 100.0;

For power based activities intensity is just normalised watts / FTP.
