Custom PMC

[Bob McRae]

I have searched the forum & wiki, but not quite found what I am after.  I am interested in creating a custom PMC and daily metrics chart like that described below.  What is the best way to go about this?  Will I need to do my own development, or can I use GC's user defined metrics?

• Custom PMC:
• Uses TSS for cycling and Normalized Graded pace for running so that the CTL, TSS, and ATL numbers substantially match TrainingPeaks/WKO
• Allows changing of the CTL model to be sigmoidal, rather than exponential.  I disagree with the concept that a week of rest results in a ~10% reduction in CTL.  Modeling the CTL with a sigmoidal decline would better represent reality
• N-day Moving Average Chart
• I like to track how much TSS, miles, work, etc I do over a 3, 4, or 5-day period as I believe that is applicable to what one can do in a single day.  However, I am not seeing a way to create a metric that works on calendar days; it seems to be based on activities.  While I have activities nearly every day, I'd like to be able to process the metric based on calendar days

Thanks in advance for the replies.

NGP has not a published operational definition; AFAIK. The closest metric in GC is xPace.

You could do that in GC using an R (v3.4) or Python (v3.5) chart.

if you want to chart that value day-by-day, independently of the presence of activities you would need an R/Python chart, as above.

Custom metrics are computed for activities, not for days, if you want to consider a 3, 4 or 5 day period before an activity you could do that using a Python script inside the custom metric (only v3.5, see the wiki).
