Analyze Durability now live

You can now see your durability, the loss of performance after a given amount of work (in cycling kJ kilo Joule and in running kilometers) in the Data page:

  • decrease in power duration curve as a function of kJ/km; we also show you your loss in CP and Endurance Power/Pace
  • drift of heart rate, DFA a1, and respiration frequency as a function of kJ/km

Both together quantify your durability and while the external power duration curve efforts require a maximal effort (both fresh and fatigued) for a reliable measurement of durability, the internal efforts do not and hence let us collect much more data on your durability from regular/non-test protocol rides.

Similar to how AI Endurance detects thresholds today (combo of external CP measurements + internal DFA a1 thresholds), the combination of external and internal methods gives us a reliable snapshot of your durability at any given time and moving forward lets us optimize durability as part of your training plan options (coming soon).

Cool. Is durability being used as an optimization metric when creating training plans / weekly review yet, or is it “just” an analysis/information tool for the moment?

for now just display but working on it :slight_smile:
