Just trying out intervals.icu for a tool to reboot my running - seems like a great tool.
I enjoy just to recording my intervals, tempo runs etc to make comparison of those easier as warmup and cool down differs and are less important to me at least. Thus, to get started, I created a simple workout as
That’s it for my simple interval session. I record the warmup and cooldown just using the run function on my watch as separate sessions. It upload to the calendar and the workout syncs to my garmin connect calendar and watch. However the pace doesn’t show up in either the garmin connect calendar or when I want to do the workout using my forerunner 235.
Is it possible to use intervals.icu to create a pace based interval running workout, have it sync to garmin and use my watch to help me adjust the pace during the workout? Am I doing something wrong?
My goal is to simply track my progression across similar sessions (similar intervals, tempo runs etc). I’m open for easier solutions to this also.
I’m unsure if this should be a bug report or a feature request. I’m happy to repost in another forum.
You should get a chart below your text that shows the colours of your various pace ranges, repeated 8 times. If it shows blank, it means the step syntax is incorrect.
Side question, what would be the syntax for pace based on % MAS? (VMA in French)?
I know lots of people defining their interval targets based on such %.
I do not know unfortunately or if subscription and using custom zones allows for this, anyway I do not know if the syntax is available.
Assuming MAS is maximum aerobic speed training, defined using prespecified max test. My understanding is that these test are distance and exertion based. Depending on your test and aim for the training perhaps you could use either distance, HR or power to achieve a similar goal?
I’ve tried on my side but it still doesn’t work: the chart stays in watts (not pace), and after syncing to Garmin I don’t get any pace targets, only the step durations/time.
I’ve just tried ton setup a Threshold Pace in my personal Pace Settings, and now it seems to work, I can see the pace chart ! I’ll try to sync with Garmin.
In my opinion, for fixed pace zones it doesn’t make sense to require a Threshold Pace (or at least there should be a warning). Thanks again for your help.
No, your mistake was to use one step based on pace and the other HR (implicitly since you did not mention “pace” on the second line). What you did was totally intuitive, I tried the same in the past.
You can only use one metric per workout if you want to have it on the watch, that’s an unfortunate limitation (intentional as far as it seems) of intervals.icu currently. It unfortunately does not export any but the primary metric (configured in your settings) at all although the FIT file format and the watches support that just fine.
Thank you! I’m new to Intervals.icu and have been trying to figure out how to sync paces to my Garmin Connect workout for hours! Setting up TH pace did the trick.
