Change in the type of the activity and name

Good morninig,

I was wondering if is it possible to change the type of the activity to a custom one. In my case I would like to have a diferent type of activity to differentiate from mtb and road cycling (and maybe also cyclocross).

Also it would be great if the name of the strava activity would be the same as the planned training, because when revising the training planed all activities end up being morning session and it’s not very visual, you have to enter each session to see what was planned. Maybe an option to choose between taking strava name or planed workout name?

Apart form that awesome platform!

Thanks!

I’m not aware that Strava can look at your custom workout and name it the same. Garmin Connect can, if your calendar is synced, and you’re a Garmin user.

I think it can’t, but what I meant was that if it would be possible that the name of an activity in intervals.icu, once it has been synced with strava, was not the strava default name and instead the name of the training planed in intervals.icu. Not chainging the strava activity name but the intervals.icu acticity name having the name it had before syncing.

Sorry, I misread your initial post. Now it makes sense… to keep the description on Intervals the same as the workout.

The most “visual” thing is probably to tick “Show Past Planned” and untick “Pair activities & workouts” in the calendar options. It does not change the way the naming is done but you have a nice graph view of your planned workout that immediately shows what it was about.

Unfortunately it’s not easy to know if the activity name from Strava is “default” or something that has been edited. So its not clear when it would be correct to overwrite this with the name of a workout.

I was going to make a feature request, but I see your point.

Can this be configurable? A check box in one’s settings?

[ ] Always overwrite Strava activity name with workout from Garmin
[ ] Once overwrite Strava activity name with workout from Garmin upon initial sync
[ ] Never overwrite Strava activity name with workout from Garmin

Or/and maybe a button to press to sync the name to Strava?

Right now, I am editing the name of the workout, adding a random character, saving, editing again, removing character, saving again*

*If I edit and save with the name of workout that is already pre-populated without changing the text string, it is removed and becomes “Morning ride”.

Just some ideas.
