Planned workouts for your users! πͺπ
What?
We're excited to announce a new feature on our platform: the ability to send structured workout plans to various fitness providers via our API. π» These plans can be tailored towards cardio or weight training, giving users the option to choose the type of workout that best fits their goals. Whether you're looking to improve your endurance or build strength, we have a plan for you. πͺ
How?
In order to provide this service, we had to find a universally accepted structure that could be adapted to work with a variety of fitness providers. This required some research and experimentation to ensure compatibility with multiple platforms. In addition, we optimized our API's ability to accept data from developers to ensure a smooth integration process. π
Why?
We've received numerous requests from developers for the ability to access sending workout plans to users, particularly on Garmin. As a company, our goal is to provide as many resources as possible to help apps using us help their users reach their fitness goals. We are always looking for ways to improve and expand our offerings, and this new feature is just one way we are working towards that goal. π οΈββοΈ

Adjusted maximum speed calculation for our API users! π ββοΈ
What?
We are excited to announce a new addition to our API: the ability to calculate adjusted maximum speed for workouts. This new field, "adjusted_max_speed_meters_per_second", is part of our ongoing efforts to provide advanced analytics and extract more value from the raw data we already provide.
Why?
Some users have noticed strange, inexplicable spikes in speed recorded by their smart watches during workouts. These spikes were likely caused by GPS sensor errors. To fix this issue, we developed statistical models to filter out these artifacts and make the data more accurate. We also wanted to offer developers an easy way to access this additional, processed information.
How?
To calculate adjusted maximum speed, we used statistical models to filter out the erroneous spikes in speed data. This allows us to give a more accurate representation of a user's maximum speed during a workout.
