You forgot to mention, why you left the swimming out I think :) Otherwise I fully agree, great tool and really gives you a sense on if you are moving in the right direction

Very cool Taren! I've been looking for something like that. Thank you so much! BTW, it was fun swimming next to you in Palisades a few weeks ago...:-)

[MrMoodyman]

This looks like it will be super helpful. Syncing strava data now! Thanks!

[mebennani]

Interesting and useful. didnt know about that. Thanks Taren

Have you seen the new GCN video? Props to triathlon Taren podcast for getting it there first! Great episode, as always.

[EricGlenn]

Excellent! Thank you. I'm excited to use this tool.

Thanks for the clear explanation of how best to use this graph. It's actually one of the most useful tools on Strava. I have tried the graph via the Elevate plug-in, but find that it's a little unclear on the FTP/weight data updating. You can get the same thing through the (paid) Fitness & Freshness on the Summit Analysis pack. Given that this pack only costs around $17 for the year and it lets you compare the segment efforts and track power, I reckon it's worth paying for just Analysis pack rather than accessing via the clunky Elevate..

Thanks for the video I know what I'm doing now

Excellent walk through Taren, much appreciated. How did Pete know the tip of his tail was videobombing towards the very end? And following up on a fantasy book recommendation I gave you a while back, have you looked into adding The Name of the Wind into your queue? If crunched for reading time, its available on Audible with fantastic narration. :D

Strava and Training Peaks call it “fitness” but after years and years of use, I’ve come to understand that’s somewhat misleading. It’s “stress” and while stress is a good indicator of fitness, it’s not always the case. And, not all training “stress” is created equal. These tools are super helpful, but still have their limitations.

[hotairmama]

how does this compare to the Freshness and Fitness score that you get with Strava with the premium edition?

[Andregeorock]

4 days to mtb race. Optimal zone our neutral zone??. THANKS!!. FROM BRAZIL

This is really cool! Curious about swimming though. I have no HR strap in the water. Will that mess up the scores?

Did strava buy elevate recently? It seems like they just recently rolled out form, freshness and fatigue. I assume that’s a newer feature set since u did this video.

[ChucksMetaphysics]

I was doing a recovery ride. 1.5-2.0w/kg... easy they said.... several minutes behind I said.. well I’ll get there eventually

I find elevate very helpful however, it does not matter how hard I hit it on a run. My fitness and fatigue is always decreasing. It is only cycling that increases my fitness and fatigue and running is certainly my weaker sport. So you'd think due to the amount of physical stress I feel after some savage run efforts it would at least contribute to my progression on elevate

[TheLadeef]

why use the estimated Power if you have a power meter?

[jimlawson]

Just jump to the 4 minute mark for what you came for.

[LaMartiLoca]

what did it mean if my form is -18 ???

[barkeater]

why is fitness different than the strava fitness
