According to my Strava I’m at my highest “fitness” level of the past two years. My waistline, ankles, and all other markers beg to differ.
The blurb from Strava is below.. does anybody pay any attention to these metrics?
(I run with chest HRM)
“Fitness is calculated using your Relative Effort (based on either heart rate data or Perceived Exertion input) and/or power meter data. This way you can identify patterns in your training and see the big picture of how all your workouts are adding up over time. Your score is entirely relative to you. It serves as a benchmark, to show how many points you currently have compared to any date in the past two years.”
I enjoy following mine but it needs to come with some hefty pinches of salt. It's decent for tracking training load and fatigue I find, and I have ridden my best times uphill when my "fitness" has been highest
