I’ve noticed that I see two different goal ranges (e.g. Power range, BPM range, Pace range) when looking at the details of my future workouts in my plan depending on whether I’m looking at the interval in the weekly Plan view or viewing the pop-up individual interval summary itself.
Attached are two pictures illustrating what I see….my question is: Which value range is correct? I’m assuming its the value range in the individual summary???
@Prof…I just finished my 2nd test of my test week and was wondering if you had any thoughts on which power values are correct?
I submitted another post under “Bugs” where it appears my suggested 6k test max Power (W) is a bit aggressive given my suggested 2k max. I definitely burned my matches today during my 4 x 30/30 Prep and got through my 2k All Out, but I know my suggested 6k All Out max Power is too aggressive. As a follow-up, I’ve been targeting the suggested max values for completing all of my planned workouts…is this the correct way to go about the suggested training?
Glad you’re enjoying the training Mike. For any ‘test’, don’t look at power. The purpose is to achieve your best power across the 2 or 6k distance. These tend to align with the power zones shown.
You don’t necessarily need to target the max. You should be targeting the feel shown in your description (Plan Overview). Let your brain decide what that is.
Thanks @Prof! Being a recovering over-analytical, I tend to be a hard target goal achiever. I’m working on being more honest with myself with my RPE, and your guidance will help as I work the recommended program.
One additional question: I don’t cycle, so I have been rowing those suggested workouts my Plan recommends at the suggested Power (W) targets. I then delete the cycling workout as the program won’t link them. Is their a better way to handle this, besides taking up cycling
You have hooked me for the next year, so I’ll be interested to see how the platform develops for those who row……
Great to have you. You could delete them and also now attempt to block all days out for cycling with the new beta group you are in. Remember to wait 24h always to let Athletica’s brain do its thing.
@Prof, I don’t know if this will help your team, but I think I’ve figured out more detail on what is happening with this issue.
When hovering over the Cycling workout interval in the calendar view, the pop-ups are showing the Power and HR ranges from my Cycling Zones. When I open the interval in the editor, it shows the ranges in my Rowing Zones treating it as a Rowing interval.
@Prof , as a follow-up on this bug, the values from the Plan Calendar page, that don’t match the Interval Detail page, are also being sent to my personal calendar……. This bug is also present on the Beta web app.
@Prof , has there been any progress on this issue? I confused as to what the AI is recommending for my workout Power/Pace targets.
Opening the workout Interval Editor, my Steady Zones show Zone 2 to 3a Power Range with the appropriate Pace/HR min to max targets. In the Plan Calendar view, and workout analysis page, my Steady Zones show Zone 2 min to max….as does the Zone Analysis pop-up.
Also, most of the analysis pop-ups only show HR and Pace info and my 6-week rowing power chart says it is based off of only one workout despite the fact I have completed two separate weeks of the test rowing workouts.
Can you provide me any further guidance so I can get the best benefit of my subscription?
To be clear, you should be training (ideally) using the calendar recommendations. Its complicated but the internal workings you observe when you open up a session relate to conversations between the front facing web and the backend brain of Athletica. While in a perfect world they would be the same to help our OCD minds, for now they are not. Please train using the Calendar prescribed session in alignment with your related zones to the best of your ability. Don’t look within the system as it will confuse you.
Thank you Paul @Prof for the clarification….that makes sense given the numbers I’ve observed an it will make setting up my intervals for pacing much easier.
