How do I use the data tool?

I am unable to log in. Isn't this something I'm supposed to use?

I'm feeling a little lost around here quite frankly.

Have you done your tests Eric to determine your FTP(bike) and Vdot(run)? Basically you would enter your data into this and it would give you your training paces. Other than that it doesn't do much. I know it is a manual process to get people setup so it does take time.

If you have an FTP you can just calculate your owns zones based on the workouts. For example, say you have an FTP of 200. When the workout says to ride for 80-85% then you should ride between 160-170 watts.

For your Vdot you can use this online pace calcualtor: http://www.runbayou.com/jackd.htm

Eric,

If it's a technical issue you should post in the Admin Questions/Notifications forum. I think there is a thread there for data tool issues. If I remember correctly RnP are manually having to give access to new members until the site is combined. So I'd post there if you are still having trouble.

Eric, we add new data tool users every week. You should be all set now!
