An Explainer: COROS EvoLab New Training Load & Running Metrics

Full post: www.dcrainmake...
Today, COROS has begun rollout of their EvoLab, which is a slate of metrics that are largely focused on training load, their impact, and recovery. In addition, for running specifically they’ve also got a number of predictive metrics including marathon level and race predictor, as well as running VO2Max. This update is partially on the app side, and partially on the watch side. They’re supporting the COROS Pace 2, APEX, APEX Pro, and Vertix (with essentially the original Pace being left out).
I’ve been using the update for a few weeks now, seeing how it compares in training load to Garmin and Polar in my day to day workouts. And while the update is substantial in nature, there are a number of catches to be aware of, especially if you happen to be a non-runner. We’ll dive into all those below though.
Note that COROS is launching this in two phases. The first is to people who sign-up for the pre-release functionality, effectively a beta. And then sometime “within the next month”, they’ll release it more broadly. That’s probably a good plan, as I’d say it’s definitely pretty beta-like right now. At least the initiation process. Once you’ve got cookin’, it’s more stable.
