Coros and structured workouts

67

The information that can be found Effort Pace is very ‘obscure’. @david can’t implement something that isn’t defined because the algorithm is unknown.
I’m inclined to follow DCRainmakers opinion in this blog post:

I only run for aerobic maintenance and only very rarely do efforts while running, but the Power and Effort Pace charts align very closely for those aerobic runs. So I do sort of agree that it is simply a ‘trick’ by Coros to avoid patent rules. Recalculate the Power to a flat terrain pace on individual bases.

Does it matter if the algorithm is unknown? You can say the same for power Garmin/stryd/polar/apple/coros all use their own algorithm.

Effort pace just uses the same threshold as pace and takes elevation into account. For pushing workout It does not matter

@David I have one other issue. If I remove a workout from intervals it is not removed from Coros.

It should be if it is inside the 7 day range uploaded. If it was a day before it might remain. Intervals.icu uploads a complete 7 day plan to Coros and doesn’t have any access to workouts already there e.g. to delete old stuff.

Is there a trick to get it to upload planned workouts? I tried checking/unchecking, deleting a planned workout and creating a new one, but it never seems to upload (and now that I’ve posted it will probably fix itself, but if I don’t post it it won’t. Shrodinger’s bugreporting)

First time up you need to drag and drop the “Intervals.icu” training plan onto your Coros calendar after that it should update.

Hi, my Name is Oliver i’m completely new in intervals.icu.
I’m too stupid and did not unterstand it correctly.
Can you please explain it a bit more in detail?
I created a Workout Plan in Intervals.icu, how I must drag and drop to Coros, directly to Coros calendar on the Coros website isnt possible, export to .fit and import on Coros calendar isnt possible too.
Many many thanks!!

Just a shot in the dark… did you tick “upload planned workout”?

Did you moved the plan to your intervals calendar or is it just in your library?

79

Hi, I have moved from library to Activities Calendar. I have done this yesterday afternoon.
Thanks

Go in the Coros app > Profile (lower navigation bar) > Training plan library > Intervals.icu training plan > Start training plan (bottom of the screen).

Okay something wonky happening here. As you can see from my screenshot in Coros, I have several workouts during some of the days. What I did was start the training plan from intervals.icu (as can be seen as in progress)
Obviously I didn’t plan for multiple workouts in a day :sweat_smile:
What gives?

Could be something to do with deleting workouts in Intervals.icu and then creating a new one.

The issue with Coros is that deleted workouts in Intervals.icu are not (and cannot) be deleted in Coros.

Did you delete a former workout and then plan a new similar one?

83

Yeah. Quit the previous plan from within intervals.icu. And later started a new plan. Is there any fix to this?

84

Don’t think so. This thread is full of users experiencing that issue… multiple people have made a ticket at Coros support.

To avoid this issue, I don’t delete the workout to create a new one. I modify it. The synchronization then overwrites the workout stored on the COROS cloud.
Now with a new plan, it’s not the best solution. :sweat_smile:

Got it!
The fault is always in front of the display.

Many thanks for all answers!!

Yes same problem here, due to the fact that I tried a lot to sync the plan to Coros, it shows now only nonsense in intervals.icu training plan in the coros app…
