Run Power: Data Field

FlowState
over 5 years ago

A single run field...with power.

Works with standard power meters, including running pods such as Stryd. [Garmin Running Power not supported.]

Supported devices
- All Garmin Connect IQ watches except Epix

Get Run Power from the app store: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/a054f515-576a-4a28-b8e5-87987ba737e1

Full Manual
Everything you need to know and all the latest info will always be here:
https://github.com/flowstatedev/ciq-runpower/wiki

Please use this thread for questions, comments and suggestions. I'd love to hear whether this field is useful and how it can be improved!




Features:

  • Power Zones
    • All watches support 5 zones
    • Most watches support up to 10 zones
    • Customize zone names
  • Power Alerts
    • Lap Power Alerts
    • Structured Workout Power Alerts (not 735XT / VAHR / Approach S60)
    • Custom Power Alerts (high/low)
    • Zone-based Power Alerts
  • Color-coded Power/HR/Cadence (optional)
  • Custom colors for Power
  • 6 fields
  • Literally 100s of metrics to choose from, especially variations on power (and normalized power)
    • Easily select metrics by choosing phrases from 3 short lists. e.g. "Lap", "Maximum", "Power"
  • Define custom metrics with formula like "Power/HR"
  • Optionally records power to activity FIT file:
    • Graph
    • Lap Average and Maximum
    • Activity Average and Maximum
  • Filters abnormally high power values [above 2000] to get around Garmin firmware bug which messes up your power stats



Feature support varies by device. For more information:
https://github.com/flowstatedev/ciq-runpower/wiki/Features


Available Metrics:

Any meaningful combo of:

  • Overall [current/total], Lap, Last Lap
  • Average, Minimum, Maximum, 3/10/30 second average, or none of the above
  • The following "base metrics":
    • Time, Distance, Pace, Power, Power Zone, Efficiency Index, Efficiency Factor, Power/HR, Running Effectiveness, Speed, Cadence, Heart Rate
    • Calories, Elevation, Ascent, Descent
    • HR Zone, HR %Max, HRR%, %FTP
    • Normalized Power, Normalized Power Zone, Intensity Factor


For example, if you're interested in power, you've got:
Current Power, Average Power, Minimum Power, Maximum Power, and 3s/10s/30s Power
Lap / Last Lap: Avg, Min, and Max Power

    kdelios you need to explicitly calculate and record a lap value yourself. Neither Run Power nor GC will do so for you. Note that lap values can either be an average (e.g. lap HR) or a total (e.g. lap time), which affects how you calculate them.

    For any formula X where the “lap value” is the “lap average” (which covers almost everything except time, distance, calories, elevation and pace/speed *), use the following formula to record X to both the lap data and the activity graph:

    recordlap(lapavg(X)) ; X

    (*) Lap pace/speed is an average, but it’s better calculated as lap distance / lap time rather than averaging speed every second. For “lap total” metrics such as time and distance, you can use X - lapstart(X) in place of lapavg(X)

    FlowState thank you for your reply.
    I enter the following formula:

    recordlap(lapavg(speed_raw / (power / userweight_raw))) ; (speed_raw / (power / userweight_raw))

    But I am getting !Name instead of some numeric value. (I am trying to record lap RE at GC lap screen).
    What I am doing wrong?
  • over 5 years ago
    kdelios Not sure what it could be. I pasted exactly what you posted above into the formula validator (https://ciq-appbuilder.blogspot.com/p/5plus.html) and the simulator (Fenix 5X) and I didn't get an error.
  • over 5 years ago
    FlowState it is quite strange indeed. The formula was copied directly from app settings. I made sure that no spaces at start and/or formula end. !Name was the result.
    Then I copied the formula at the link you provided, and calculate the code. Then I pasted the code at app settings, and it worked. The numeric value was displayed at watch screen, graph recorded at GC, and also lap average values at lap page.

    Reposting some info that was lost in the forum migration:

    A user asked about displaying "required pace" -- e.g. pace needed to finish a marathon in a certain time. I replied:

    If distance units on watch are set to km:
    (42.195 - Distance) / (T - Timer) * 3600

    If distance units on watch are set to miles:
    (26.2188 - Distance) / (T - Timer) * 3600

    T is your target time in seconds. e.g. 3 hours, 5 minutes and 30 seconds = (3 * 3600 + 5 * 60 + 30)

    See this post for explanation: https://forums.garmin.com/forum/deve...77#post1463277

    Also, it's not possible to show Lap Time Left in workout mode, because CIQ apps don't have access to workout info (other than getting a notification on the end of each workout step / lap.)

    After several tries I can now confirm:

    RunPower on Fenix5plus shows Power ONLY IF Stryd is connected as a FP AND disconnected as PWR meter

  • over 5 years ago in reply to kdelios

     Should I put "Lap" " .."  "Code" in the 3 dropdown boxes or "..." "..." "Code" ?
    I want Lap RE to see in one field and in Garmin Connect Laps afterwards

  • over 5 years ago

    I leave here an idea that could perhaps lead to automatic Workout build with Power Warnings.
    This is the screenshot and the file that I get from FinalSurge (free).
    Perhaps you can strip it to get the string...

    The latter: "..." "..." "Custom Metric A/B"

    In general it's better not to mix any of the first two drop-downs with the the custom metrics (formulas), although it would work in some cases. 

    To record and display lap RE you would use the following formula:

    recordlap(lapavg(speed_raw / (power / (userweight_raw / 1000))))

    The general form for lap averages is:

    recordlap(lapavg(X))

    Lap total (e.g. distance, time, calories) would be:

    recordlap(X - lapstart(X))

    Lap pace/speed (a special case) would be:

    recordlap((distance - lapstart(distance)) / (timer - lapstart(timer)))

    I'm not sure how that's possible, unless you are entering the ANT+ ID in the app. Again, the best way to do things is to leave the ANT+ ID blank and connect natively as a power meter, for watches that support native power. That is also (currently) the only way to use Power in a custom formula.....

    Let me know if that works for you.
