Thanks for the replies!

So it would seem it's not comparable with other people. My friends trending fitness level score also has a way higher value than mine.

One thing we did discover was that our setting for max heart rates were different, so maybe that has something to do with it.

It's no biggie really, I was just curious how we could get such different data results from the same ride.

If that's the only HR metric you have given strava it absolutely will affect it. They will use a standard algorithm to define your HR zones based on that maxHR, and then assign 'time in zones' based off ride info and that algorithm, as others have said.

I went and had a look on Strava - 25% of your pals ride was z3, while yours was entirely z1 & z2 so a pretty big difference, z1 and z2 don't score much.

#csb: I once tried to pull a load of ride data to try and work out the polynomial they apply to hr data to get the score, and failed
