Hello to all,
Is the feature, where you see different load calculations (accord. To HR, accord. To Pace, etc.) Still available? I can’t see it in my activities. But I am on the trial version. Can someone confirm, that it still exists?
Thanks a lot,
Philipp
Hi @Philipp_Ko ,
I’m not exactly sure if I understand your question. However to be clear, training load (training stress estimate) is calculated in accordance with what the user provides as an input, and indeed, this could be pace, this could be power, or this could be heart rate. Athletica uses what it can in a hierarchical system in accordance with best practice (i..e, cycling power is better than heart rate for cycling). Hope that helps.
Hi @Prof ,
Sorry for being so unspecific. I do a lot of Trailrunning and thus a lot of hiking up. I use a stryd powermeter and a heart rate belt. However, the load athletica calculated is really low for a 5h Trailrun, which feels quite hard. Is there any way to switch that calculation metric, e.g. to say it should use heart rate derived load in all cases or even for single activities?
Did something happen to NGP? I did an outdoor running on Wednesday and it isn’t there even though I did a lot of hills?
I like this, is there any plans to make it available on the mobile web or app view?
@Jack what exactly are referring to? 
Hey @Philipp_Ko totally get where you’re coming from. Trail miles that include long “power-hike” climbs and technical descents often feel like a big day out, yet the algorithm spits back a modest load. The problem is that HR derived or NGP derived training load doesn’t take into account what happens inside the muscle. Neuromuscular fatigue is tricky to estimate, but right now, I believe the best we can do is to use RPE and comments after the session. You won’t know what your neuromuscular fatigue is like before the morning after.
Recently, I travelled to hilly/mountains from flat lands of Texas. Shorter, slower runs /bikes/hikes uphill hit so different. Neuromuscular load that I usually don’t get left me fatigued for 2-3 days. Athletica gave me only moderate load, but I know that the true load, was much higher. I’m ok with that because I understand that the models are not perfect.

Sorry, I was referring to the post that had this screenshot in it :
I believe this particular view only available to our admin crew 
Thanks for the reply, as a data junky I always get excited if there are more numbers to look at 
never too many numbers to analyse for data geeks
