As part of what I'm trying to do in this article: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/cms-65 you can now build a little graph, a bit like a graphic equaliser, that indicates the intensity you ran at. I'm using an amended Borg RPE scale, which goes from 1 (very light exercise e.g. buttering toast), right up to 10 (escaping from house after toaster sets kitchen on fire). You can click the little squares above each number to indicate the proportion of your run was done at that particular intensity. So for example, this morning we did a little three miler, just to keep our legs going (Fenland 10 this Sunday) - and we threw in some fartlek bits along the way. So I might make a big column around the "4", and then a weeny column above the 8, to represent the hard bits. The goal of this is to give everybody, irrespective of whether they have jazzy equipment, a way to formally record the effort levels associated with that particular training entry. It also gets nicely around the fact that some of us log our intervals all in one lump, complete with recoveries, whilst others will input them as separate sessions. It's only ever going to be an approximation, but it's an important one, because it's how you feel. And if plenty of folks start using it, then it'll generate lots of interesting data and corresponding graphs

fetcheveryone Oct 2014 4:46pm, 22 Oct 2014 15,072 posts	0 fetcheveryone Can you see a little sentence above the boxes that says: "Grade this session by clicking the grey squares to build your own graph." and can you take a look in the developer console, and see if there are any errors?

Like the idea though Most of my bike sessions have a variety of different efforts in them, and although other places already show 'time in zone', it would be good to have that here too Actually - when the Transporter Beam from Connect is running - could that not be configured to pull across the Power (same as effort, eh!) figures and populate the graph automathematically.
