Adjusting workout fields (Field selection)
In the workout detail screen you can decide which fields are visible, such as Stress Score, TSS®, power, heart rate or cadence. Not every field is enabled by default: useful to know when your Coachbox Stress Score or TSS value is missing from the view.
The selection is stored per sport, so you can show different fields for cycling than for running or swimming.
Showing load metrics on the calendar
You can also surface Stress Score, TSS® and RPE straight on the workout cards in your calendar, without opening each workout. They are off by default, so existing calendars stay uncluttered.
- Open the calendar filter via the sliders icon in the top right.
- In the Options column, tick SS, TSS® or RPE.
The metric then appears on every workout card, with the Stress Score listed first. Hover a value to see which metric it is. Your choice is saved to your account.
Opening Field selection
- Open a workout from your calendar.
- Click the "..." menu at the bottom of the window (next to Cancel and Save). Hover over it and you will see the "More options" tooltip.
- Choose Field selection.
A window opens where you can choose, per sport, which fields are visible.
Metrics too
The same button exists in the detail screen of a metric (weight, sleep, morning pulse, ...). Open a metric, click the "..." menu at the bottom and choose Field selection to decide which metric fields you fill in. Metrics have a single list, without the split between planned and executed fields.
Planned versus executed fields
As a coach you see two columns:
- Planned fields: fields shown when you schedule a workout (e.g. target duration, target power, planned TSS).
- Executed fields: fields filled in once the workout is performed and the data comes in (e.g. average heart rate, actual power, recorded Stress Score).
As an athlete, only Executed fields are shown.
You can also drag fields to change the order in which they appear in the workout.
Available fields
Below is an overview of all fields you can toggle on or off. Whether a field is actually filled depends on your device and the sport.
Time and distance
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Duration | Total duration of the workout |
| Distance | Total distance covered |
Speed and pace
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Avg. Speed | Average speed across the entire workout |
| Max. speed | Highest speed during the workout |
| Avg. pace | Average pace (min/km, or min/100m for swimming) |
| Max. pace | Fastest pace during the workout |
| Normalized pace | Pace corrected for variations |
Heart rate
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Avg. heartrate | Average heart rate in bpm |
| Max. heartrate | Maximum heart rate in bpm |
Power (cycling)
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Avg. power | Average power in watts |
| Max. power | Peak power in watts |
| Normalized power | Power adjusted for variations, more comparable across rides |
Cadence
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Avg. Cadence | Average cadence (rpm, or steps/min for running) |
| Max. Cadence | Highest cadence during the workout |
Elevation
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Elevation gain | Cumulative metres climbed |
| Elevation loss | Cumulative metres descended |
Load and intensity
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Stress Score | The Coachbox Stress Score: our own training load algorithm. Feeds the Fitness Trend chart |
| Intensity | The Coachbox Intensity factor that pairs with Stress Score |
| TSS® | Training Stress Score, the TrainingPeaks industry standard |
| IF® | Intensity Factor, the TrainingPeaks industry standard |
Tip: The Coachbox Stress Score (
Stress Score/Intensity) is our own interpretation and is used by the Fitness Trend chart. The TSS® and IF® fields are the TrainingPeaks industry standard. Coaches often pick one of the two systems to avoid duplicate numbers.
Energy and temperature
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Calories | Energy spent in kcal |
| Energy | Energy spent in kJ |
| Min. temperature | Lowest temperature recorded |
| Avg. temperature | Average temperature |
| Max. temperature | Highest temperature recorded |
Perceived exertion
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Borg scale | Subjective effort on the Borg scale (RPE) |
Good to know
- The fields you toggle here apply only to your account. Athletes or fellow coaches each have their own selection.
- Each sport has its own selection: switching between cycling, running and swimming shows the settings for that sport.
- Not every field can be filled. Power requires a power meter, and TSS and Stress Score require configured heart rate or power zones.
