Hi all, I’ve been a Xert user for the last 6mths or so. Last weekend I did a 140k ride, the longest I’ve logged on Strava with a XSS rating of 299. I would have expected my status to be tired or very tired however on the day of the ride and every ride since my status is showing as fresh (blue) including a tough group ride on Tuesday which usually takes me into tired status.
Does anyone know why this might be, usually I have a number or tired days each week… I’m in post event phase so maybe this has something to do with it?
Or the opposite of this (freshness slider too far right)
Nothing to do with target event date.
(Lack of) intensity can also be a factor as Xert tracks low intensity and higher intensity form separately to determine status… you can’t get yellow without high intensity… and need form to be at least -30% of training load to get red with just low intensity strain
