Enable editing of Zones - HR, PWR,

General Feature Requests

Hello!

I would love to have the possibility to edit zones - both HR and Power Zones.
Currently, changing the zones is only available by changing the Critical HR and the Critical Power Values. That changes the zones - but it is still impossible to change e.g. Zone 2 to the values deducted from a Performance test with spiroergometry.

So - perhaps a good Idea might be to have an “expert” mode which not only allows to alter Critical HR and Critical Power, but also allows the User to edit the percentages from CPWR for CHR that define the zones or to edit the HR or PWR-Values themselves.

Or maybe allow the user to feed the AI with measured values for VT1, VT2, LT1, … (Fatmax, BP, …) and have it adjust zones accordingly itself.

Optimally taking into account that thresholds, e.g., VT2, LT2, FTP, CP, are not the same, but that’s a very big ask😉

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestion. Definitely something we need to consider to allow more individualization.

Right now, we allow manual editing of your Critical HR/Power/Pace, and the system recalculates the zones based on those values. We don’t yet allow full manual editing of each zone boundary, or ability to manually plug-in any lab-measured markers like VT1, VT2, or FatMax. And you’re right, FTP, LT, and VT2 are related but not identical, so one-size fits all model doesn’t always capture nuances of proper assessments.

The good news: I’ve added your (and of many others) to our roadmap under “Expert Mode” concept that would allow advanced athletes and coaches to add the level of flexibility you all need and deserve, without overwhelming the newer athlete who may not yet understand or care for these intricacies.

Thank you for voicing this. It is feedback like this that drives us to improve and reiterate to meet our customer needs and improve the platform for everyone.
