As SportTracks ST3.1 (desktop) reaches end-of-life I’m hoping that the plugins continue to work. If not I am stuffed. This impending, potential data catastrophe has made me take my head out fo the sand, look around a bit and then stick it back in a little bit deeper. Whilst my head was above the data…
STRYD have been busy. Along with the new STRYD running pod that accounts for WIND, we have seen a steady stream of features to improve the overall STRYD ecosystem. STRYD have introduced another today and this one is called “CP Depreciation”, I’d prefer to call it “CP Decay” but let’s explain what it is and…
It’s no secret that I like Xert (pronounced EXERT). In a nutshell, it’s a novel way of looking at what power output you are capable of at any given instant; and that knowledge feeds through into many aspects of training from season planning, to workouts or to segment hunting. It works well in the Garmin…
XERT recently announced a major update for their platform initially via their iOS app. Who? XERT offer lots of training and coaching functionality around those of us who want to train with power. It’s designed for CYCLING but works with STRYD for running equally as well. What’s the big deal? ‘Normal’ training with power has…
XERT make several clever Garmin CIQ apps/data fields and they just come out with another one. It’s cleverly entitled “What’s My FTP” I occasionally witter on to people who are half-listening about there not being the need to do an FTP test unless you really want to. XERT have approached this differently to how I calculate…
I really like this. There’s some new cycling training stuff from XERT released today and I’ve included the press release and some links, below. I’ve had a little look at it and ‘mild’ play with it recently. We all seem very keen to technically join all our cycling gadgets together electronically with our smartphone and…
It took me a while to realise that 2XU was ‘two times you’ but I got there in the end. The XERT, as in ‘exert’, was more self-evident. XERT is part of BARON Biosystems who also make BIOSHIFT. Before we get cracking, you need a CIQ enabled Garmin cycling computer and a couple of months’ history…
This is an interesting one that falls under the ‘certainly can’t hurt’ category AND it may well help. You’ll need a PM+Cadence Sensor and a CIQ-enabled Garmin. Download the BIOSHIFT from the CIQ store and you’ll get a data field something like the image on the right. Replace your normal cadence field with the Bioshift one…
