Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Here you will find answers to the most important questions about DunMove.
Do I have to exercise every day?
No. You can choose your favorite days - and the plan adapts to them. So you can train in a way that suits your everyday life. The logic also ensures that there are no unhealthy constellations (e.g. four days in a row).
What happens if I am ill or on vacation?
You can enter breaks or training camps in your calendar. The plan recognizes this and automatically adjusts the workload (e.g. return to training after illness with reduced intensity).
Does it cost anything?
All plans are currently free of charge.
How are my units calculated?
The plan combines your available time frame, your desired days and your competition goal. In the background, we work with intelligent training metrics: LTL (Long Term Training Load - your fitness level), STL (Short Term Training Load - your current fatigue), Fresh (freshness - the difference between LTL and STL) and Load (load per session). This will help you get fit without overtraining.
Can I use the training sessions in Zwift or Garmin?
Yes, you can connect your DunMove calendar directly to Intervals.icu (OAuth). From there, the workouts are automatically forwarded to Zwift, Garmin or Wahoo. Alternatively, you can also download individual workouts as .zwo files.
Can I change my plan?
Yes, you can recalculate your existing plan - e.g. with a changed time budget or new preferred days. Your old plan will be overwritten automatically.
What does "performance-driven" mean?
Our training plans are based on your actual performance in watts - not on pulse or feeling. This makes your training more precise, effective and easier to control. A power meter on the bike or indoor trainer is required.
Why is this important?
Performance is objective. If you know your wattage, you can train specifically - e.g. for endurance, threshold or VO2max. Your plan is individually tailored and adapts to your current form.
How do I determine my FTP?
The FTP (Functional Threshold Power) is the power you can sustain for about 60 minutes. You can easily test it with Zwift: - Zwift ramp test: easy to get started, approx. 15 minutes - Zwift FTP test (classic): longer, more precise test with warm-up phase and 20-minute all-out
How do I estimate my VO2max performance?
The Zwift ramp test is also suitable for this: Simply subtract two levels (20 watts each) from the last level reached - this will give you a good estimate of your VO2max power. Example: If you stop the test at 300 watts, your estimated VO2max power is around 260 watts.
What if I don't know my values?
No stress - you can use DunMove even without precise performance values. Currently, everything is based on relative values (e.g. 85% of your FTP), so you don't have to enter your individual values yet. Your training platform (e.g. Zwift, Intervals.icu or Wahoo) scales the workouts automatically - depending on the FTP stored there. But: You should still know your FTP - simply so that you can better assess your training. The following applies to VO₂max: It will be exciting later - at the moment it has no influence on your plan.
Can I mark my training courses as "completed"?
No. DunMove is not a training tracker, but purely a provider of smart training plans. If you want to track your training, we recommend external platforms such as Zwift, Garmin, Strava or Intervals.icu. Many of these can be synchronized with each other.
