If you are not a triathlete or you are don't know what Training Peaks is you may want to skip this post....
For those who use TP as a coach or as an athlete... There is a new release that states....
The new data editing capabilities will enable users to: 1) delete segments of data such as warm-ups or cool-downs and erroneously created segments, 2) edit specific points where data spikes have occurred, and 3) drop entire channels like heart rate, power, pace, temperature, and more. Workout totals, average and peak value calculations will adjust automatically after editing, and edited values will be reflected in Training Peaks charts, like the Peak Power and Peak Pace by Distance charts.

Ha! I thought the same thing when I saw that update!! Crack me up. I think I'd prefer to see all my data in there as it actually got done- editing only in the scenario where I was an idiot and forgot to turn the thing off (which actually happens very rarely I'm kind of a dork about my garmin data being accurate!)
ReplyDeleteI think we go too hard in training bc we are lacking self confidence... though that may be another post. ;)
