Power from imported Strava activities

[David Farquhar]

Hi,

I've just realised that since I upgraded to v3.6, everything I import from Strava has power values attached to it.  I don't have a power meter (yet), so I presume it is calculated somewhere either in Strava or GC.  Is there any information anywhere on where this is calculated, and how accurate it might be?  Even if just a rough estimate it would be interesting to see it.

I've also realised that if you re-download activities into GC it adds power to them as well

Thanks

David

GC can estimate power automatically on download/import, but only if you have enabled it in https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/UG_Preferences_Data-Fields#processing, more information about parameters and limitations in https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/UG_Special-Topics_Activity-Processing#edit-tool-estimate-power-values

Otherwise estimated power should come from Strava, and you will find lot of discussions about accuracy.
