Meaningful Workout Codes + PMC data customization (Overview tab v3.6)

[Dimitris]

Hello,

I am trying to define meaningful workout codes, that would make my analysis easier. In the past I used categories like recovery, endurance, tempo, etc but that does not show the full picture. I then tried to enter categories like intervals or long climbs to account for specific types of rides. Can you share examples of your codes and how they reflect your workouts?

1. Is it possible to assign codes programmatically to my workouts without changing them one by one? For example, let's say I use a scheme like Z_Pwr-Z_HR-T, where Z_Pwr is the power zone that I mostly ride in, Z_HR the heart zone I mostly ride in and T a type for the ride, e.g., R for recovery, V for VO2max etc. Can I parse somehow the data in my ride and use it to assign codes automatically? I read the posts here to bulk edit workout codes but this wouldn't work I think if I wanted to parse power zones, heart rate or any other combination of data. I guess this has to be done via python somehow? Ideas?
   
2. In the tracker tab as well as in the PMC data tab in the overview page (v3.6), I try to filter the results to not show the days that I didn't work out, but nothing works. I tried for example to set a filter like Duration <> 0, or Average_Power <> 0 but it doesn't work. How can I achieve that?
3. In the Overview -> PMC data tab (v3.6) I've seen some screenshots where the values are colored (I presume with a color scheme that matches the corresponding wattage)? How was that achieved?

Many thanks

There are Power Zone and Hr Zone metrics you can use, eventually you can define custom ones, and formula language in v3.6 is verypowerful, so set() should work, once you define precisely what you want and read the documentation to see how to implement your ideas.

Metric Trends charts don’t allow this, AFAIK, but you could use a table tile in an Overview chart

Using the heat function in that tile formula.

Actually it is not possible when the chart has curves taking values for all days s.t. Stress or Measures, but using only Metric and/or Formula type curves, only days with activities will have values like you want. Formulas can compute basically everything else, so this would not be a limitation.
