[update to the post below. It appears the most recent stravatix plugin allows for what I requested below. Stryd claims it also includes run power, but I'm still trying to figure out how to get run power incorporated into stravatix's multisport model.
ok, so no run power in the individual workout graph/chart and no run power for multisport fitness/fressness, only run HR... just your avg and weighted power and time in power zones for the individual run..
baby steps! but man, when run power is included in multisport, that will start to get interesting. The swim TSS based on total time swimming and distance compared to FTP pace is pretty flawed unless I'm swimming continuously with no breaks!!! but it's a start.]
So, if I wanted to use the Fitness/Fatigue/Form Strava calculator effectively for 3 sports, I could manipulate gpx files to change the training load, recording (privately) swimming and running as cycling.
I wonder how much more accurate it would be since I would be taking into account complete cross over of training load between sports... and I could record run/bike or bike/run or swim/run or races as one workout with a summed training load score. Yes, the actual cross over effect would be a bit less than accounting for complete cross over, but it will all be relative...?? and better than the nearly non-existent/unrealistic cross-over effect calculated by WKO4 or Apollo. Or, if all recorded as cycling and if the estimations are worth their salt, would the form/fatigue/fitness be pretty spot on? good enough?
Maybe a developer could make a strava chrome plug in that does this automatically, pulling the FTP and 5k run pace from Settings and having 3 x 1-5 scales the user uses to rate swim training load based on the users perception of fatigue going into the swim, swim distance and intensity, and fatigue 30min post swim. The run would use grade adjusted pace as a power number and create a cycling power file. It would need to take into account that running time and cycling time are different; it could do this by recording the 5k pace as e.g. 150% of ftp to create an appropriate training load, or multiply each minute of data by 2-4....? It could generate a little money, like Stravatix. Developers? take the idea and run with it, please! I would pay to use it.
It would also be a good idea for the plug-in to allow users to manually enter training loads - there's a huge demand for that on the Strava forums.
