Workout analysis

With the workout analysis you dig into the data of a single completed workout, down to the second. Put power, heart rate, cadence and pace side by side, select a climb or interval to inspect exactly that part, and instantly see the zone distribution, peak values and laps of the session.

Opening the analysis

In the calendar, click a completed workout and choose Analyse. The analysis opens full screen.

Panels and layouts

The analysis is a grid of panels that you pick, drag and resize yourself. Layouts are saved per sport, so you can keep a power-focused layout for cycling next to a pace-focused layout for running. See Own layouts for analyses for creating, editing and arranging layouts.

Available panels:

• Statistics: the main chart with all data streams of the workout
• Details: all key numbers of the workout or of your selection
• Laps: table with the laps from the device and your own laps
• Time in zones: separate panels for power, heart rate, speed/pace and cadence
• Peak values: separate panels for power, heart rate, speed/pace and cadence
• Map: the recorded route
• Description: the planned description and workout structure
• Reactions: comment on the workout, with AI coach feedback for coaches

The chart

The main chart shows every data stream the workout contains: elevation, speed or pace, heart rate, cadence and power are visible by default. Swim workouts add swolf and strokes. Extra series such as pedal smoothness, left/right balance, ambient, core and skin temperature, and distance per stroke are hidden by default.

• Toggle series: click the series name in the legend below the chart.
• Smoothing: the slider in the panel header smooths out noise in the data (0 to 10). The elevation line is never smoothed.
• Time or distance: the buttons in the panel header switch the x-axis between elapsed time and distance.
• Tooltip: hover over the chart to see the value of every visible series at that moment; a marker on the map follows the same position.

Selecting part of the workout

Drag across the chart to select a segment, such as a climb or an interval. All other panels immediately follow your selection:

• Details shows the duration, distance and all averages and maxima of the selection.
• Time in zones and Peak values are recalculated over the selection.
• Map highlights the selected part of the route and zooms in on it.
• Laps highlights the laps that fall within the selection.

With a selection active, extra buttons appear in the panel header:

• Zoom: zoom in on the selection (and back out).
• Clear selection: back to the full workout. Clicking inside the chart does the same.
• Save lap: store the selection as your own lap in the laps table.
• Cut selection: remove the selected data points, for example when the device kept recording after the workout. Cuts can be undone.

Selecting also works the other way around: click a row in the laps table or a point in the peak values chart, and the chart selects exactly that part.

Time in zones

The zone panels show, per zone, how much time and what percentage of the workout the athlete spent in it, as a bar chart with the zone boundaries included. There is a panel per zone type: power, heart rate, speed or pace, and cadence. The distribution follows the athlete's training zones; without a zone definition for that type, the panel stays empty.

Peak values

The peak values panels show the best value of this workout per effort duration: 5 and 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours. Again there is a panel per type: power, heart rate, speed/pace and cadence.

• Click a point in the chart and the main chart selects the part where that peak was set. That instantly shows where the best 5 minutes of the ride were.
• With a selection active, the peak values are recalculated live over just that part.

To follow peak values over a longer period or compare two periods, use the duration curves in the statistics.

Laps

The laps table shows the laps recorded by the device, plus the laps you saved from a selection. Per lap you see, among others, duration, distance, average and maximum speed or pace, heart rate, power (including normalized power) and cadence; the options menu controls which columns are visible. Click a row to select that lap in the chart. Your own laps can be renamed or deleted via the pencil icon.

Map

Workouts with GPS data show the route on the map, with start and finish markers. In the top right you switch between a street, satellite and topographic map layer. The map moves along with the analysis: hover over the chart and a marker shows where you were on the route; make a selection and that part of the route is highlighted.

Details

The details panel bundles the key numbers of the workout, or of your selection. The options menu controls which fields you see. Available, depending on the data in the workout:

• General: workout duration (moving time), elapsed time, distance
• Speed: average and maximum speed and pace
• Heart rate: average and maximum heart rate
• Power: average power, average power excluding zeros, normalized power and maximum power
• Cadence: average cadence while pedalling (zeros excluded, as your bike computer calculates it), average cadence including zeros, and maximum cadence
• Cycling dynamics: pedal smoothness and left/right balance
• Elevation: elevation gain and loss, minimum and maximum altitude
• Temperature: ambient, core and skin temperature
• Swimming: swolf and strokes

The panel also contains a mini chart of the laps, for which you choose the value that sets the bar height, and the planned workout structure for comparison.

Reactions and AI coach feedback

In the reactions panel you comment on the workout. Coaches can also generate AI coach feedback there: a technical analysis of the session plus ready-made messages for the athlete.

Re-analyse, complete or download the file

Via the options menu of the chart panel you can:

• re-analyse the workout (all values are recalculated);
• upload a .fit, .tcx or .gpx file to complete or replace the workout;
• download the original file.

Good to know

• The zone and peak values panels require an active license.
• Without GPS data the map panel stays empty; without a data stream (power, for example) that series does not appear in the chart.
• Panels such as the map and the chart can be viewed full screen via the maximize icon.
• Escape closes the analysis.
