Manual input of training impulse

Is it possible to manually input training impulse on the Freshness and Fitness page? Power meter wasn't working on a recent ride, so no entry was made on this Strava page. A significant uptick in fitness would have occurred if the data had been registered. So my fitness curve is not reflective of actual fitness. 

On Training Peaks, data can be manually inputted such that it adjusts fitness based on your estimates. Even if not totally accurate, it seems better than a curve which doesn't move at all based on the lack of data. 

Thanks.

Hello @mruscoe 

Thanks for posting about this.  There isn't a way to add a training impulse.  Do you also record heart rate on your rides?  If so, you can also view your Fitness on the web using Relative Effort only (we calculate your relative effort using your heart rate data).  You'll need to make sure you select that in the drop-down menu.  See image below:

If you didn't record heart rate, you can still add a perceived exertion to the activity to get a relative effort score.  I hope that information is helpful.
