STRAVA - Fitness/Freshness

Chris Kuebert

For STRAVA users with power.  Under the Training tab there is a Fitness & Freshness tab that is calculated using Dr Coggin's method of Fitness, Fatigue and Form.  I have a MAC and can't use WKO+.  Can somebody please explain the fitness, fatigue and form #'s or is there a better place to read about them.  I am aware that this only takes into account cycling so the #'s aren't going to be very accurate with all of the running we are doing.  

 

Thanks

Chris

Here is my current chart.   http://app.strava.com/athlete/fitness

Read this from Hunter Allen, co-creator with Coggan of the tools used in WKO/TrainingPeaks and elsewhere to analyze power; the use of power analysis to determine form, fitness and freshness are explained:

I have a Mac and use the online (subscription based) WKO at trainingpeaks.com and works great. Strava's is like the diet version....

I thought that WKO didn't work with Macs.  I will check into it tonight.

 

Thanks for the link Al
