In a previous blog I talked about indoor training and statistics. Indoor training, because the circumstances are always the same, is ideal to analyze rides and thus improve yourself or motivate yourself to do even better next time.
As I already mentioned Strava in combination with VeloViewer is a great combination to get the most out of your rides. However, I needed other statistical data than these programs could give me. In Veloviewer a lot can be done, and some things can be done by filtering and or selecting correctly, but what I especially missed was being able to directly compare rides on some basic data. What I was looking for, for example, was to select my (last) ride and compare it directly with my own PR's on items like duration, Watts, heart rate etc. Also comparing 2 or 3 rides, indoors you often ride the same routes, and see on which aspects I scored well.
So, before I went further to see if I could make something like this myself, I first wrote down for myself what I wanted to achieve:
- Overview of my own records on the following items :
- Then I can select 1, 2 or 3 rides and see per item what the difference is with my own record with a percentage.
- Of these selected rides per item indicate where I have done the best.
- And of the selected rides indicate who scored best overall
What I always like are top 10 lists, so of all these items I also want a top 10 list:
- indicate per item at the bottom of the top 10 whether the selected ride is in the top 10, if not, if it is in the top 50.
- I also want to have a total overview of different items such as :
number of rides
total time
total number of meters climb
and I want to be able to set a goal per item per year and how far away I am from it.
I would also like a graph with my rides (minutes) compared to the Wtt/Kg
And where it's possible a link to Strava and VeloViewer with every ride so I can open these detail pages directly.
It would be nice if I could have my data refreshed every night
And I would also like to have 1 sheet with my outdoor rides and 1 sheet with my indoor rides. I don't need the mix, because they are different ways of cycling and the results that come with it.
The overviews should be online (in the cloud) and also available on my mobile.
Last but not least, I'd like to do it without an paying service, so free tools.
Quite a list, challenge enough... get to work ! 😀
