Intervals Analysis
Intervals Analysis
User guide index: https://marcoaltini.substack.com/p/hrv4training-pro-user-guide
As runners or cyclists, there are a few workouts that we might tend to do over and over again during different phases of our training plan, which help develop certain skills (e.g. neuromuscular fitness and speed as well as VO2max).
Countless times we had to go back and forth in our log to see how much progress we had made, browsing months of data and trying to do the math on our average splits and recoveries.
To make the process easier, we built the Intervals Analysis feature in HRV4Training Pro, which analyzes your intervals and progress automatically.
In particular, you can pick the following:
The timeframe on which to perform the analysis
Sport to analyze (at this stage only running or biking)
The main metric to use for the analysis of the hard part (distance, e.g. if you run 400m reps, or time if you run or ride for 2' reps)
The main metric to use for the analysis of the easy part, which can also be set to any if you have variable or unspecified recoveries.
Then the analysis will show you the number of reps, average duration, speed or pace, and heart rate or power data. This way you can easily track improvements (or lack thereof) over time.
What do I need for this analysis to work?
You need to use Strava and track Laps in your workouts, otherwise, this analysis won't work. If you have your Laps in Strava correctly set to match your intervals, then we will be able to analyze the data as shown above.
I hope you’ll like the new Intervals Analysis page and the improvements we implemented.
