2 trainings on a single day - TE value

Hi,

Do you happen to know how does the device count/summarise my training effect number when I do 2 trainings on the same day?

Does it make some average value?

When I want to check my training effect I can see only the results of the latter (the second activity of a day)

Can you help me understand it somehow?

Thanks
:)

The session with the highest TE is what you get in Connect.

TE depends on time and effort, so if you do a brick session, logged as two sessions rather than multisport, the maximum TE will be lower. This is how I have interpreted Firstbeats algorithm. Would be nice with a "memory" between activities in regards to TE.

Yeah it takes the largest value of the day for TE and longest duration for recovery time.

You can of course get the TE for each workout by looking at the details of the workouts, rather than the daily TE report.

Intensity has a much larger effect on TE than duration does, so the more intense of your workouts that day is going to have higher TE than the lower one. Even if you combined the two into one long workout, the more intense phase will be the one that drives the TE.

Well, I usually do some running (about 30 minutes) and then I start martial art training (about 1 hour)

So I guess it would be better to do it as multisport session, wouldn't it?

Thanks for your help and suggestions
