How many hours per week are you starting with? (status stars count)
How many days per week do you ride 2-5 hour SS workouts indoors?
You’ll need to create workouts of that duration and start riding them before XATA recognizes your pattern and suggests them in future.
Endurance in Xert is anything below TP and includes “hard” endurance between LTP and TP (SS/tempo zone) and “easy” endurance at or below LTP.
If you prefer SS look for mostly green intervals up to yellow on the thumbnail charts.
LTP will be all blue or blue/aqua for under/over LTP.
There are also a few traditional SS workouts you can use as templates to create longer versions.
By default Xert is a hybrid polarized platform but you can steer your training in the direction you want thorough the selections you make day to day.
Not populating a calendar takes getting used to but that is a major benefit to Xert.
Instead, you monitor the pacer needle and allocate your weekly load as you see fit and your changing schedule allows. You always have the option to ride more/less today or indoors/outdoors.
