Planned workout not correct

Training
1

I spent a good few hours the other day uploading 112 workouts from 80:20 the other day and i am using the program without issue.when i created the workouts they were all created in terms of heart rates zones ,

for instance

-5m z1 HR etc

However when ive assigned these workouts to one of my friends they have all come in based on LTHR and are totally changing the workout , why is this ?

The percentages dont seem to marry up, is this because hes using a different heart rate zone system ?

Has anyone got any idea why this is occuring .

I’ve set up all these workouts based on heart rate zones .

However when I then assign them to someone im coaching it does not use their heart rate zones which is causing issues .

That definitely sounds frustrating. It could be that the workouts are defaulting to your own heart rate zones instead of adapting to each athlete’s individual settings. Some platforms require you to select “relative” zones or link the workout to the athlete’s personal metrics manually. I’d double-check the athlete profile settings and make sure their HR zones are properly synced with the training platform. If it’s still not pulling correctly, it might be a platform-specific bug worth reporting. What platform are you using?

So we’re all using Garmin connect .

The workouts were created inside of intervals based on HR zones .

The workouts are all saved externally as FIT files based on HR Zones .

I upload the files to each user an for what ever reason the HR zones disappear and it uses much higher zones , I am assuming that’s based on my own but I can’t see why it would do that .

Appreciate you responding

Thanks for the details, Ross. It sounds like the FIT files are retaining your HR zone data when created, not dynamically adjusting to each user’s set zones in Garmin Connect. You might need to recreate or export the workouts within each athlete’s profile to match their personal HR zones. Definitely frustrating—worth checking if the platform supports relative zones or user overrides on import.

Thanks Aidan ,

I would go back and do this but there’s 168 workouts and I have two of my friends I’m doing this with .

I don’t understand why this would happen they are specifically set at

-5m Z1 HR

Etc

Surely that should change for each user
