Hey all Athletica athletes,

the team is cranking out a lot of updates, making it nearly impossible to keep YOU updated on all of them.
You can see latest releases in your web app under Support - Latest Updates - latest 10 updates are shown here. These are updated weekly.
In August, the team shipped a lot, here’s a short summary of the most impactful ones.

Data digestion/parsing improvements:

  1. More accurate indoor training data
    Treadmill distance, pace, and training load calculations have been corrected, particularly for Garmin data. Some historical indoor sessions may change slightly as they are reprocessed.
  2. Better swim threshold detection
    Swim threshold analysis now works across a wider range of abilities, from slower swimmers through to elite athletes, while adding safeguards against thresholds that don’t match your actual best efforts.
  3. Improved Strava data processing
    Athletica now makes better use of Strava moving-time data, improving moving duration and average-speed calculations. Swim moving time, data-gap handling, and outlier detection have also been refined.

User Experience:

  1. You can add a fun race into your calendar for mid-week dates. Note that these are meant as “training races” without any taper, so replace any hard session with the race. You can add these races directly from your Calendar: Add-Race-tab.
  2. You can now add custom workouts and add to multiple days or weeks at the same time! This is my favorite addition, because I walk my dog everyday and now I can add these walks into my training calendar all at once! User examples: Those who use bike/run /walk as commute options, or have their own S&C program now can easily add those sessions in.
  3. Support Chat - we now offer instant Support with our Support feature directly from your web interface, together with our support@athletica.ai email support.
    Please note that the Chat feature is still under development, so please be patient as we work to improve this for you. Please note that this feature is AI bot - please practice clear prompting and stay friendly :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
    Our small support team strives to reply to you as soon as we can, usually you’ll receive an answer within 48-72 hrs during the week.

Hi, @Marjaana I also want to add my dog walking (without a dog though). Cannot find how to do it.
I click “+Add” and choose “Create custom”. Then I can only choose one date from the calendar view.
