Training effort.

Former Member over 13 years ago

Is there an option to add the training effort to your activity? I use the EDGE 800.

Are you talking about Training Effect? If so, the answer is no. It's a parameter calculated by your unit continously during your activity, at the moment only available on the Forerunner610.

TopoFusion has this same function, it's called "Effort Index" and it is applied to any track loaded into the software and not dependant on the type of gps unit.

The DEMO is free, fully functional with no time limit.

It also has a second companion function called "Difficulty Index" that assigns a number to the track based on gain, steepness of the climbs, total distance, etc. but without speed.

You can open several tracks and find ones with a similar "Difficulty Index" and then see how your "Effort Index" changes with speed.

Also if you are training for something special you can find the track with the highest "Difficulty Index" for training.
