Title: Excellent App — Question About CTL (42-Day Average) Calculation
What I appreciate most is that it presents training data in a way that’s actually useful. Metrics like CTL, ATL, TSB, aerobic decoupling, training load, and heart rate analysis are incredibly valuable and much easier to interpret than Apple’s own ecosystem.
I also really appreciate the export feature. I regularly export my workouts and analyze them with ChatGPT, which has essentially become my endurance coach. The combination of HealthFit’s detailed metrics and ChatGPT’s analysis has been fantastic for tracking my progress toward a half marathon and sprint triathlon.
I do have one question regarding CTL.
My understanding is that CTL is based on a 42-day exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) of training load, similar to the Performance Management Chart used in TrainingPeaks. Because it’s a rolling average with a 42-day time constant, I wouldn’t expect it to increase dramatically in a single day.
However, I noticed what appears to be my CTL increasing from 69 to 77 in one day, which doesn’t seem mathematically possible if CTL is indeed using a 42-day EWMA.
Could you please confirm:
* Is HealthFit’s CTL based on a 42-day exponentially weighted moving average?
* If so, could you share the exact calculation or formula you use?
* Is there any scenario where an apparent jump like 69 → 77 in a single day could occur (for example, a recalculation, data synchronization, or historical workout import)?
Based on the formula published on your website (CTL_today = TRIMP × λ + (1 − λ) × CTL_yesterday, with λ = 2/43), I wouldn’t expect CTL to increase from 69 to 77 from a single workout. Can you help me understand how HealthFit arrived at that value? Was the metric recalculated from historical data, or is there another factor involved?
I’m mainly trying to understand whether I’m misinterpreting the metric or whether something unusual happened with my data.
Thanks again for creating such an outstanding app. It’s become one of the few fitness apps I use every single day.
Great in depth tool
The only request (which is likely not possible due to how Apple Fitness logs it - I log via an Apple Watch Ultra 3), but power meter balance would be great.
Best app when it comes to raw data
Excellent app
MyWhoosh ride -> MyWhoosh website -> download .fit -> HealthFit -> intervals.icu
That’s my current pathway and the manual fit file fetching is a drag
An excellent app to help track fitness
Also its ‘AI Coach’ feature is way better than Strava’s (which is generally laughable).
Highly recommended.
Amazing app, even better support
The developer was very responsive to my outreach and was able to resolve my issue.
For those who might also be experiencing this: IF you suddenly see no training load calcs, check that your resting heart rate is syncing correctly to your profile. Mine was not and this was the issue.
Lovely . Beats garmin
Response from developer
Hello! Thanks for the kind words. A daily steps widget is on my to-do list, but it's not a high priority at the moment. There haven't been many requests for it, and my to-do list is already pretty full. Sorry about that, but I'll keep it in mind.
Amazing Stats, FFF widget for the win !
Great for deeper understanding
