Compare two periods directly and keep the definition of each side visible. Choose a quick rolling or calendar comparison, enter custom dates, or use named seasons built around the way you train.

## Choose the comparison

Start with 7-day, 4-week, 42-day, 12-week or 365-day rolling windows; compare full weeks or year to date; or select current and completed seasons. Custom date ranges cover comparisons that do not fit a preset.

## Compare the work

Review activities, active days, weekly duration, distance and ascent, then compare Duration, TRIMP or PSS week by week. Filter the complete report to cycling, running, swimming, walking, hiking, strength or other training.

## Compare response and intensity

Health measurements stay separate from workload, while heart-rate and power-zone distributions show where recorded intensity shifted. Coverage and threshold changes remain visible beside the result.

## Compare performance

Inspect best sustained power, heart rate or running pace across supported durations. Each side links back to the activities in that exact range, and the complete comparison can be downloaded as CSV.

## Volume and load

Aligned weekly charts compare one metric at a time and normalize summary rates when the selected periods have different lengths.

## Intensity distribution

Compare heart-rate or power-zone shares with recording coverage and threshold caveats beside the chart.

## Performance curves

Switch between supported power, heart-rate and pace views without losing the identity of either period.
