How workout cues are shown within the app. This is applicable for both workouts uploaded via Dropbox or via intervals.icu
(The below video workout cues are via integration with Intervals.icu)
Note : Default setup of cues
If there are workout cues present, cues will be displayed 5seconds before the start of the next interval and proceed to be displayed for until 5 seconds after the interval starts. (This is based on the default of 10s interval cue duration per intervals.icu. You can manually change that and reupload the workout back to intervals.icu)
cues are only shown if the (current) interval length is > 30seconds (otherwise, the cue duration and the cues to be shown will overlap to next interval or be garbled up sequence wise)
default cues, if there are no workout cues present are to show
“Prepare For Next Interval”
Next interval Length
Next interval target power
Finally, you can also put in cues at any time within your interval by downloading the MRC file from intervavls.icu and editing it manually and re-uploading it back to intervals.icu
eg:
0 warmup 10
30 good progress 10 (this will show a workout cue starting at 25s into the interval and show for 10s)
60 1st interval 10
I used the App synced with interval. At the end of the workout the app did not synced back to interval. It keeps telling me that I need more medals (I.e. to see more ads) but next message is that no add are available. Tcx file is available in Dropbox but when I try importing in interval, it gives an error.
To be an “easy-no fuss-just work” app, this is too much to withstand!
Once workouts are completed, files are directly sync’ed to Strava / Dropbox / Intervals depending on what options are selected by the user. If you see the TCX in Dropbox, that means that the sync code is executing. What about strava? Not sure if you’re connected to Strava tho.
There is an option to do a re-sync (I had to put this in mainly because of Strava API limit, something which even david is having issues with) within the library tab.
Oops: I just found that I neglected to add in the code to also retry sync to intervals.icu again which I just Fixed - will send to apple for next release)
With regard to the message that you’re seeing about in-sufficient medal, i think this is probably because you are trying to re-start another workout? (we check prior to another workout being started to ensure that your workout don’t stop midway, which would make for a terrible experience) This message should not appear otherwise. Can you please confirm?
Can you also send me the TCX? (app4g.devel@gmail.com) and if the error persists, it would greatly help if you can enable debugging mode (input “loglevel10” into the developer text field within Settings) and this would generate a DebugLog.txt txt file in the History tab)
Again - apologies for the issues you’re facing. I’m sure we can sort it out these teething issues.
@david need your expertise here. could you take a look at the TCX file (dropbox link below) which i’ve created using BreakAway to have the TCX file support Each Interval as a Lap (I just recently found out that intervals can also utilise an option called “use Laps”) so I’m trying to see if I can utilise that feature as well.
Here is how it looks like when uploaded to Garmin Connect.
When I compare the TCX data from my app vs that from a Garmin Uploaded activity, it looks to be the same except that i don’t have a maximum speed tag. Is this the reason, I wonder?
Note : I did Upload to Garmin Connect, then exported that file as TCX (Garmin did put in the Maximum speed tag) and reuploaded to Intervals and still the same. No Laps.
I uploaded that on my laptop and the laps came out ok. The trick is to tick the “Keep all laps” box as well as “Use laps”. Otherwise Intervals.icu still processes the laps and gets rid of ones with low power which is all of them in this case.
@David, it seems to me there is a general “bug” here in i.icu: The first level “use laps” never really works, you always have to go to “Analyze” and then check the necessary checkboxes.
Maybe the top-level “use laps” should really be removed?
For those that are using this app, firstly - TQ for your support.
I’ve uploaded a new version which would be ready for release soon as I’ve done more testing on it. In the meantime, if anyone is interested in testing it, the public link is below.
IdleTimer (when workouts not started, app will honor phone settings on when to do auto lock)
HRV and LR Power Balance is now supported and will be written to the output file. (ONLY when user selects to Save As Fit file - option in “Advanced Options”. Current iteration will save both FIT and TCX(as backup) for the time being with FIT being the file that gets uploaded to Strava and Intervals if enabled. Future release will eventually migrate over to FIT only). Both FIT and TCX will also support LAPs, hence you can use interval.icu’s “use laps” feature to align the intervals based on the prescribed workout you’re doing.
within advanced option there’s also an automatic “Screenshot Workout” option which will automatically save a copy of your completed workout as a 4:3 format photo. You can also add some workout details such as Name/Total Time / Distance / Speed of the workout as well as any “canned” custom text. (Take note that there’s no Auto-Upload to Strava - API for that is only available for the big Players such as TR / Zwift / Rouvy etc)
3rd row of telemetry is now available showing Speed / Distance and LR Balance if any of these days are available. (Speed/Distance only available if user enables Virtual GPS and LR Balance only if power meter supports it). Also, 3rd row available only in Portrait Mode due to space availability.
Split Screen View on iPads that supports it (Youtube - How Split Screen Works). This way you can run BreakAway alongside watching a video on Netflix for instance. Or, if your trainer supports it, you can execute a structured workout, with the app controlling the trainer and have it alongside Zwift where you can enjoy the virtual scenery)
Fixed a bug w/ Strava Login (alongside some other small fixes)
Thanks!! And Let me know feedback / bugs / improvement etc.
It also works on my iPad Mini 2 (circa 2013, running IOS 12)
I wish i had an android phone/tablet to play around with as well :-p
Yes. Actually, BUT (and it’s a big BUT) given that it’s taken me 1+ yr to get to this stage (from zero swift knowledge), it will take me similar if not longer for Android. (I also don’t have an android phone, my dad had a huawei P50, but can’t find where he misplaced it). The other thing is also the thought of the many variations of android + phone hardware just frightens me lolz.
Just uploaded a new BETA (Same link as above) Changes includes the addition of W’ Bal(kJ) in similar fashion as what you see on intervals.icu. You can turn ON/OFF this field within “Advanced Options” (in future, this will likely pull the WPrime values directly from intervals.icu and auto-populate/update but for now it’s manual)
Unlike bundled workouts, intervals icu workout requires 130 medals for each workout. Is this really intended? it needs like 10 views of ads and actually rums out of ads before I can run a workout
Hi, It is one medal per minute of workout. Yes it’s annoying! to get the medal I have to open the app every now and then and launch the adv.
Hope that the developer can find another way
