How Long Wiill It Take A New User's Metrics To "Normalize"?

[Egika]

@TrailEyes just to make sure: have you set up the max and min HR correctly in the watch?

@TrailEyes
not expert here, but i may assume that CTL is based over past 42 days (which is exactely 6 weeks).
i assume also you are right to think it should normalize, but maybe just from now.
in parallel, did she setup up her zones accordingly to her high HR ? And checked that each activity is using the “correct” TSS value (either HR, power, etc…) ?
and last, are all her TSS values really high ? I think TSS values are independant of “shape”, but TSS values are contributing differently to CTL/ATL according to current shape (thus taking into account past 42 days).

@Egika @Mff73
I definitely tried to make sure that her HR zones are set up right … actually set them a little higher than what they were in her Coros.

I will have to double check to see if they’re pulling in HR as the key metric instead of power, etc. I assume it defaults to HR, so that’s something I don’t look at often. I’ll do a deeper look at what her daily TSS numbers are showing too.

Thanks!

Hi maybe importing old data from coros to Suunto using rungap could help it did it when I transitioned and my metrics were good

If you use android it is another app to migrate the data let me know

Ps run gap is a paid app but 3 months is 5€ or something equivalent

I did just that and it worked for me.

@TrailEyes set up power and pace zones as well, these may affect TSS depending on how TSS is calculated.

just be aware (from my own latest notice) that imported activities from outside will not have the proper HR zones from user’s watch, but from defaulted ones.
So in this case, it may give some historical data, yes, but maybe not that good neither.
Dilemna.

Thanks, this may be a good piece of it. We are Android users btw

@Brad_Olwin Good thought! I’m pretty sure we haven’t tinkered with them on her watch before. Thanks!

@TrailEyes Nobody’s perfect… (just kidding !!)

The android app is SyncMyTrack (and it’s free if i remember well)

@Josaiplu Thanks!
