Hello, there!
Where we are living, spring is slowly making its entrance, which can only mean one thing: cycling season has officially started! And we are right on time with this new addition. If you're love the stats, it's likely you'll give it a nod to the four new metrics that will support your power-based training.
ADVANCED METRICS FOR ADVANCED FOLKS
These four work together to give the full scope of a session - not just how hard you went, but how well you executed it. That distinction is what separates training that compounds over time from training that just accumulates fatigue.
Relative Intensity tells you how demanding the session was relative to your personal limit.
Variability Index shows how consistently you paced the effort.
Efficiency Factor indicates power output relative to heart rate - a rising trend means your aerobic engine is getting stronger.
Aerobic Decoupling shows how well you held that efficiency over the full session.
Where to find them? Open a recent ride or run activity with power data and see them in your session summary.
If you like what we're building, we'd be grateful if you dropped us a rating and/or a review on the App Store. Helps the algorithm gods show us to other data nerds, and it reminds our small team why we're doing this.
