When I started using Athletica, I did the test week. My bike and swim results were okay, but the running threshold (critical speed) was abnormally high compared to the metrics calculated by Garmin and my Excel files. I believe the result is incorrect, so I manually entered my true Critical Pace and BPM, but Athletica continues to ask me to use a much faster CP that isn’t realistic for my current condition.
I would like to repeat tests every two month but I don’t know if it’s a good idea or not
qfcoach, did you try re-entering manually your correct CP? Aalso make sure that you have “ask me” selected for threshold updates or it may manually revert to what it thinks is right!
If you have “ask me” selected, and it’s still changing your CP behind the scenes, you can log a bug at support.athletica.ai in the upper right under “submit a request” as your manual change should hold…
Also, did you look at the data from your test run? Trying to see why it rated your speed higher than expected, sounds like poor data, perhaps wrong GPR or you got in the car with it still running (I’ve been known to do that!)
