What’s New at Athletica? Rowing, Swimming, and Essential Training Insights!
|
Hello Reader, We have a few updates from this past week that we're excited to share with you. These include:
1. Rowing Plans Now in BetaAs part of our mission to extend HIIT Science principles to more sports, we’re thrilled to introduce our rowing plans for sprint, standard, and long-distance events. Developed by our Athletica and HIIT Science teams, these plans are designed for both on-water and ergometer training, accommodating various training volumes. They are accessible to self-coached athletes and coaches alike. If you’re a rower and would like to participate in our beta testing, please reach out to hello@athletica.ai. 2. Swim Pace Profile AvailableWe are excited to announce the launch of swim pace profile charts for our triathletes. This feature has been in the works for some time but we haven't been able to confidently release, likely due to challenges in swimming data quality. However, with daily improvements in technology capturing swim pace and heart rate, we can now offer this valuable tool. Similar to running pace and cycling power, you can now view your swim pace profile under the charts section. 3. Power/Pace Profile TaggingWe're particularly enthusiastic about this feature and hope you will be too. Your Power and Pace Profiles now display the training session in which you achieved your maximal mean power or pace. Clicking on a data point takes you directly to that session for detailed analysis by both athlete and coach. Reminder: All-New FREE Athlete Profiling Primer CourseEver wonder why we focus so much on an athlete's power and pace profile in Athletica? These are fundamental to understanding your locomotor profile—how you move in your sport and in the world. Knowledge is power, and we want everyone to be empowered.

Hello Reader, On May 19, 2021 I published a simple piece: “Why Athletica.” It laid out a hope. That science, thoughtfully encoded, could help everyday athletes train well, stay healthy, and perform. Today that hope feels a little surreal. Luke Evans, a Toronto-based engineer who started triathlon five years ago, recently used Athletica to self-coach his way to the overall win at IRONMAN Canada–Ottawa (8:40:22). Below are the podcast, the deep-dive blog, and the principles behind the...

Hello Reader, Even the cleanest power file can hide what really happened in your session. Miss a lap press by two seconds, and your averages—and any Coach’s feedback—are off. Interval IQ™ fixes that. Our new machine‑learning engine scans every second of your ride and builds “virtual laps” for every meaningful effort, not just the best one. That means: True work‑bout averages for your 30/30s (or 4 × 10 min at CP) Hidden sprints and fatigue fades surfaced automatically Smarter compliance scores...
