But if you are doing 30 x 30 second all outs, you would. If you are attempting something like 2 x 20 at threshold, you wouldn’t expect to see high power output on the short time period. This is super helpful to not only see how your ride compares to your best efforts, but also helps you see in a graph the type of ride you did. The power curve is a staple among cyclists who train with power.
Every metric, graph, and display for how your activity went. This is more obvious when I train indoors. If my workout purpose was to stay in aero as long as possible, but I needed to stand, it might indicate I was fatigued and couldn’t hold the power I needed. The gear ratio helps me see where I needed to stand up. This show me how consistent my normalized power was during a ride and helps me understand if I faded or was strong. One thing I’ve setup is showing both normalized power and gear ratios for rides. For me, I like seeing a lot of the data overlaid. You can add custom metrics or tweak this screen to your liking. The analysis screen is where a lot of the power of Golden Cheetah lives. Where to enter key information about the activity. You can also add text inputs such as objective or notes. I have Golden Cheetah setup to automatically color my activities based on these tags. Next, I have a screen where I can enter tags for my workout (such as Long, VO2 Max, Threshold, Brick, etc.). Did I hit my desired target zones? I also like how at the bottom it shows an overview of the “best” efforts over a given duration such as power, cadence, and speed for a 10 second snapshot up to a few hours.Īctivity Summary. It also shows time spent in certain training zones, which I find helpful. It shows calories, distance, time, averages, etc. This shows me the key snapshot of the activity. A new feature in Golden Cheetah.Īfter the dashboard screen, I have a summary screen. One thing I did note, is that the top left tile showing form and fitness appears to only grab “bike” specific form and fitness and doesn’t use the triathlon specific calculation. While the dashboards are under active development, it does give a nice snapshot of your day. In my case, I downloaded one of the dashboards which are under active development. The application allows for nearly infinite customization including addition of pre-built charts, dashboards, or enabling you to create custom charts and metrics. Once the activity synchronizes from Strava, it is now available in the application. In my case, as I publish all my activities to Strava, it’s a simple import and sync from Strava to Golden Cheetah. Golden Cheetah has an integration with several cloud vendors including Google Drive, Dropbox, and Strava. The first part of my analysis comes after I complete a workout. Note, there are no mobile apps that can read this data yet. it is published to my Dropbox and is then also available to another computer I have. Every time I load workouts, add charts, etc. There are easy ways to synchronize this application so that the data can be used across several computers. There is no cloud version available so it must be installed on your local machine similar to TrainingPeaks WKO4. This application is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Own a Garmin, Polar, Power Tap, etc.? The developers wanted to make sure you could access all the data, power, and latest exercise science surrounding the information these devices produce.
#GOLDENCHEETAH HALF PIPE METHOD SOFTWARE#
Golden Cheetah is a free piece of software built from people who believe that the data our smart devices record should be freed from their manufacturers. As of this writing, I am using build number 1708. It’s usually quite stable, but occasionally runs into glitches. Keep in mind I’ve been using the development build version of this app for quite some time. Below, I’m going to show you what I do for triathlon training with Golden Cheetah. This free piece of software has been a key part of my every day analysis. One of the major pieces of software I use is Golden Cheetah. I have posted a few times about the software I use to train.
