Hello,
I’d like to see if Intervals can help planning weekly load in duration, distance, elevation for my Spring Trails comming up?
So I have on paper the cycles (macro, meso, micro) with dates, the workouts on each day I’d like to do, and from that I’d like some charts to show me the projected volume.
If the workouts can be pushed to my Garmin this would be the next step.
I have already put in Interevals Calendar all races (A, B and C) and a holiday week as note.
Thanks for your experience and help.
Have you used the WO builder, built a WO, added it to your library, and used the ‘Copy Week’ function, in the past ?
If you’ve got it written on paper, I think manual is the only way to get it into .icu While it is “manual” , all functions named above make it very fast & easy. I’d say you could build your year in about 15 - 20 mins…
It will then give you a complete fitness & fatigue chart for the year, based on load, etc. 99% sure it will be able to push to your Garmin for guidance & execution, others can confirm.
If you need help w the WO builder, syntax, etc, that info is searchable here pretty easily. LMK if you need help.

I was going to try manual build for the 1st week in Intervals and also in parallel test building the same week in Stryd. All workouts should arrive on my Garmin as per my current systems connected and I can then view the differences on watch when starting activity in Run or Trail mode. I’d like to keep using Stryd power targets on road, and on Trails I will use RPE and manual lap for each hill climb, flat or descent to see the different power ranges.
What I’m wondering is how to have a forward view for next weeks until races (C, B or A types) and see projected load for the various metrics which screen I should look at in Intervals. If anyone can share sample screens if you are in same situation that would be great.
For the WO builder yes I’ve tried that and also explored the same in FS however there you can build a workout based on RPE values. What I found yesterday about Stryd is that it seems it will convert RPE values directly to equivalent RSS load so this looks interesting.

If you put your workouts on your calendar, you see the progress of your future fitness in the fitness chart (set the end date to a date in the future).
You see the weekly fitness values in the plan builder too.

Yes, as R2Tom said above, plug 'em all in, and view via your fitness chart, pic here.
You can also setup any custom charts you want, to snapshot & monitor the indices you find most valuable.
I have one I really love that shows Wkly Ttl TiZ as stacked bars, with RPE and Intensity % set overtop as dots. Snapshots pretty much all of what I like to keep an eye on, in one place.
I also run one showing eFTP and Ride eFTP, w HR / Power as dots overtop, love that one too.
