NEW - Durability: The Hottest New Metric in Cycling!
The concept of durability as an important fitness metric has recently seen a lot of prominence and interest. At Xert, we had the concept of durability as part the system when it was first launched. Check out the new feature and stay tuned to more blogs, videos and podcasts on this exciting new feature to come out over time.
Note: Only activities greater than 2 hours can be analyzed for durability, ideally with a maximal effort late into the ride.
You can learn more about Durability Score, here: Durability Score â Xert
We continue to make improvements to our User Interface. These latest updates improve the appearance and speed of the Fitness Planner and add some nice improvements to how information is laid out.
Magic Buckets for Garmin V3.0 Released

Glad to hear you liked it! Even if I donât end up using the workout, I find it a great way to visualize what the workout will look like at various Challenge Levels & view any differences in training duration.
Trying to work the Magic Buckets generator, and at the moment the âworkoutâ feature is grayed out⌠ATAI also is suggesting doing a hard workout but also not suggesting anything above low strain for today. Am I just experiencing a bug?
Appears to be a mismatch between the Focus Power and associated XSS.
If issue persists you should file a bug report by contacting: support@xertlonline.com
Only works for activities greater than 3 hours long with power data. Review the information page.
I read the info page. It doesnât mention power data anywhere. Only:
To properly assess durability scores, you should choose activities that are longer than 3 hours and activities where you know you felt you were at your limit after 3 or more hours. This could be from a final climb during a race and all-out 3 minute TT, for example. Just feeling tired at the end isnât enough to assess durability. A max effort while fatigued from a long ride is necessary. Note that if you had a breakthrough during the activity, you may not be able assess your durability.
Great update! Loving copy and swap and the new AI workout generator.
For some reason my Activity page, first tab on my fitness panels, is showing blue aka fresh but my planner shows orange aka high energy tired. Iâm pretty sure that latter is correct. Any ideas? It was working fine until this week.
To answer your question, looks like you were tired from your hard activities last night, but that your freshness returns by later in the day - notice the transition from Yellow to Blue in your planner & 3-day forecast:
Always as I donât own a power meter. The featureâs not available for me; thatâs OK. It was just confusing because I wasnât seeing what was being described.
Do you plan to develop this further? E.g. do you want to utilize this socre when calculating the XSS for a ride, when calculating breakthroughs, in Magic Bucket, +++. Now it seems like the durability score is used for the ride where the value was found, so it is not really a part of your fitness signature.
Iâve just activated the Durability Score using Carbs
It says I had an 18.7% decline per 50g of CHO. I used 238g and replenished 197g
Just wondering what it means and what use I can make of it.
Just to add I didnât do any efforts that were close to maximal as it was a 6 hour ride.
Durability wonât really apply here in that case. The only way to get a valid durability score is to really push yourself to the limit later in the ride. The harder you can go several hours into a ride, the greater your durability is, by definition!
Even if I donât end up using the workout, I find it a great way to visualize what the workout will look like at various Challenge Levels & view any differences in training duration.
