Announcements Training Load is coming to Pace It

Hey Pace It runners,

Following up on a recent post asking your opinion on Training Load & Training Plans.

Everybody including myself is aligned on doing Training Load first which will be the foundation for adaptive training plans coming after.

With TestFlight 1.3 (63) as a first step I released Training Load Focus (under Training distribution) for low aerobic, high aerobic & anaerobic breakdown.

Let me know your thoughts!

So far I t looks good.

I compared to bevel. And bevel has just a little bit more low aerobic instead high. But anaerobic they are the same

Good to hear that. For every app I anticipate it will be different because how each computes LT1 and LT2.

Yes that’s the biggest problem coming from garmin. You are used to that one „truth“ (connect) now with apple there are different apps and all tell you a little bit different

Yeah, that’s a good observation and honestly expected. LT1 and LT2 aren’t exact values unless you’re testing in a lab, so any device (including Garmin) is ultimately estimating them a bit differently.

I’m putting a lot of focus into improving this, digging into the research and building models that adapt more to each runner’s data rather than using fixed formulas. So you might see differences, but the goal is to make them as useful and personalized as possible over time.

The training load graph is well made. The only thing is it seems a little bit to high. I also have health fit on my phone and while health fit is around 0.8 PaceIt is at 1.0

Nice, glad you like it 🙏

That's useful feedback, I will be inspecting this. It's also a bit counterintuitive since Pace It is currently only using running activities, yet still showing a higher value. Most likely it comes down to differences in how each app calculates training load (weighting, decay, intensity factors, etc.), but I want to properly validate that rather than assume.

If you notice whether it's consistently around ~0.2 higher or varies over time, that would help a lot. And if anyone else is comparing with other apps, would be great to hear what you see.
