as the only things stopping me from paying for intervals and migrating workouts from TrainingPeaks and switching to free TP (for archiving and feeding WKO).
Last I checked power&HR ranges weren’t working (Garmin Secondary Workout Target) although I’m using power & cadence ranges. Can’t recall if I tested cadence as secondary target, but 7 months ago HR as secondary target wasn’t working.
Any chance target power-range vs actual will ever make it high enough on the priority list to get completed?
which works well for some workouts (endurance) but not others. Honestly it’s better than TP when quickly looking at short accelerations at end of EZ endurance workouts. Still can’t believe that TP zone overlay is so hard to see it’s almost unusable.
Now I have Strava names. Revoked Strava access and still have Strava names. Sad panda.
Second issue
previously Intervals was extracting workout from FIT file
yesterday I created a workout in Intervals
yesterday after finishing the ride I had multiple tiles on Wednesday
Why does planned still show up? CONFUSING. I messed around and can’t recall, but at one point (after unpairing) I had 3 tiles on Wednesday. Massively confusing.
Yes I know there is an option (Show past planned workouts) to disable that.
TrainingPeaks has what I consider reasonable behavior:
completed workouts show with a color (color indexed to compliance), and the planned workout and actual workout are merged into a single tile
planned workouts that are NOT completed show as red
TP’s colored tiles make seeing TSS compliance much easier (I picked TSS)
Intervals’ skyline charts make it much easier to see power planned vs completed
And a note to self - forgot to sync Strength to Garmin. FWIW I’m using Strong, which syncs to Apple Health, and then RunGap to sync to Garmin (and somehow I recently disabled the auto-syncing).
Untick the box and click ok to save. This will extract one more workout which you can delete.
Intervals.icu keeps planned and actual workouts separate so you can change the pairing if it gets it wrong etc… They are rendered together on the activity tile.
Intervals.icu has a similar compliance scheme to TP, it just only colours the tick or cross next to the percentage. If you miss a workout it gets a red cross (e.g. the extra one on Wed).
Activity and workout colours can be set by sport, intensity or training load etc (do Options → Colours). I have mine set for load:
Also if you untick “Workout” next to “Chart” then the planned workout skyline chart is hidden for paired workouts, reducing clutter. Of course then you can’t see what you were supposed to have been doing.
Now that you are a supporter you should have a look at the new activity compare page, if you haven’t already:
Appears to be going forward only, because I tried that last night before revoking access to Strava. Just synced with Strava again, and it’s deselected (same state as I left off before revoking). And still have Strava names. Which is precisely the opposite of what I want.
Which leaves me thinking of deleting all data and reimporting from Garmin. Which sounds like a big server load. And I absolutely have some missing rides from the past, which is annoying, and another reason I feel like starting over.
Advice?
And thank you for the other info.
I REALLY REALLY don’t like (bordering on hate LOL) the extra clutter of keeping planned and completed workouts separate. Right now I have 3 tiles:
too many things going on, so maybe I made a mistake. So I opened the fit file in fitfileviewer.com and it says the workout is “Aerobic 90m 62 TSS” and I believe it. So where did a workout with 10m cooldown and Load of 65 come from?
The problem here is that you have 3 workouts on that day. One is paired with the activity (on the same tile) and the others are separate. Probably from the “auto extract workout thing”. You can just delete them.
Intervals.icu requires that all steps in a workout have a duration or distance. It defaults to 10 minutes for “open” steps. You can change this. Create a new workout and click the dot dot dot menu next to “Import”:
Yes that is correct. Unfortunately there isn’t any easy way to get your Garmin names back, other than deleting everything and re-importing or scripting something using the API.
Server load for the import isn’t an issue but tx for thinking of that.
on my 840.
