yeah i’ve learned to only look at XATA when i want to train.
here’s an idea!
when you click the button to see XATA advice, first XATA asks you: Do you want to train more today? And if you say no, then maybe XATA shows a random picture of some relaxing activity: dog walk, hot bath, sauna, take a nap etc… lol
XATA’s advice is just another piece of data to help me decide on a workout along with a lot of other data: on my own perceived feelings, how my life stress has been, how my sleep, nutrition, and hydration were during the day… all that i just take a random guess…
key word being intensity right? when you are doing more volume than you normally do based on data, then we will se red stars or blue stars only?
I’ve never pushed the system to a point where i was doing so much volume that I only see red or blue stars…
is that something that is even possible? i don’t know if it’s just hard to avoid the tempation to do tiny bits of high or peak fatigue riding while just trying to get lots of long slow distance riding in…
I guess the thing is that if i try to do a base season with just long slow distance riding, then my intensity load goes down so far that it’s hard to avoid doing something that puts on yellow stars.
