The intensity calculation of this training plan works on the basis of your measured heart rate. A heart rate monitor, e.g. a chest strap or an optical heart rate monitor on the wrist, is required when exercising. Tredict supports most modern sensors and training devices.

Learn more about Tredict with the glossary or read the blog.

HRmax: The maximum heart rate your heart can deliver under very heavy load.

FTPa: Functional Threshold Pace - The maximum speed you can maintain for about an hour.

FTP: Functional Threshold Power - The maximum wattage you can maintain for about an hour.

The relative intensity values of a training session are converted into your personal absolute intensity values when using the plan, based on the capacity values. 70% HRmax thus become 140bpm, if your maximum heart rate in the capacity values is set to 200bpm.
Tredict's intensity calculation is based on the training duration, so the distance of the training plan changes according to your personal FTPa.
