New subscriber here, blown away at how good AI Endurance is. I do an atypical strength training regieme - 4x3 clusters with specific exercises I’ve “invented” like a pistol squat with a 40kg weighted backpack in a door frame for support. Find that translates immensely to my bike sprint. Previous AI platforms just don’t get it, I used to use Gemini and it got it and happy to say the Gemini integration here created me the perfect plan.
Anyway - with my own Gemini chats I use HRRc to judge fatigue in a strength session. As the session progresses you usually get a drop, or if you don’t you can guage your fresh. Could we get that in AIEndurance? It’s hard to use HR data for track strength but I think this is a good way?
Also anyway to log actual reps/sets?

Glad to hear you’re enjoying it!
I don’t necessarily think heart rate is a good metric for strength (I would think HR barely moves or responds with a big lag) but if it works for you I don’t see a reason not to use it. You could ask to include HRRc for your strength workouts in you system plan prompt and it should be included in the workout descriptions in text form.
As far as logging goes, if you log it in for example Garmin or Strava it should get imported and in the near future we’ll also have the option to manually enter activities in the calendar.
One “issue” with strength workouts is the auto-detection Garmin uses is not great. If it were possible to delay uploading of strength workouts to allow for editing first, this would give a better indication of muscle groups used for analysis.
As an example: wall squats is a quad/glute exercise and garmin will just say ‘unknown’.
How does this manifest itself in AI Endurance? Where do the ‘unknown’s appear? Activity title?
Not in AI endurance. It shows up as a ‘strength’ workout just fine.
If there’s a plan to interpret the fit file from GC for specific exercises performed, then there would be the limitation I mentioned.
about that: according to Garmin docs, they send the fit file right after it’s saved and that’s it. so no opportunity to reflect on any changes in Garmin Connect unfortunately
And therefore no way to ‘delay’ downloading the fit because it’s pushed to your service from GC, not pulled in.
technically GC pushes the link where to download the fit. but according to docs that fit stays the same, even if you edit something in GC. so effectively no way to delay downloading.
Delaying downloading would also have the unwanted side effect that some users might think the sync is broken. Updating would be the way but not possible at the moment it seems
