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?
DunMove is currently undergoing changes. Information on future conditions will follow shortly.
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, workouts are automatically sent to Zwift, Garmin, or Wahoo. Alternatively, you can also download individual workouts as a .zwo file.
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 output you can sustain for approximately 60 minutes. You can determine it via your training platform or with a structured test on the indoor trainer. • Ramp test: easy start, about 15 minutes • FTP test (classic): longer, more accurate test with a warm-up phase and 20-minute all-out effort You can find such tests in icTrainer, Zwift, Wahoo, Intervals.icu, or other training platforms.
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 exact performance values. Currently, everything is based on relative figures (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) automatically scales the workouts – depending on the FTP you have set there. But: You should still know your FTP – just to be able to better assess your training. Regarding VO₂max: It will get interesting later – for now, it has no impact on your plan.
Can I mark my training courses as "completed"?
No. DunMove is not a training tracker, but a provider of smart training plans. If you want to track your training, we recommend external platforms like Zwift, Garmin, Strava, or Intervals.icu. Many of them can be synchronized with each other.
How do I use the workouts in icTrainer?
For icTrainer, you can use your workouts via direct connection through API or by using ZWO/ERG files. Additionally, we are currently developing our own step-by-step guide to make this process clearer.
