I use an Edge 530. The workouts I create in Intervals.icu and put on my calendar are on my Edge when I turn it on. The workout controls my smart trainer flawlessly. Marking it indoor/outdoor does not make a difference in this scenario; the Edge uses the power target I set in the Intervals.icu workout and puts a range around it nevertheless. However, the range does not mater as the smart trainer hold the power target from the workout.
Other than the fact Garmin workout API does not support slope mode, this setup is perfect. My three kids also have Edge 530s and it is sooo nice to be able to just drop a workout on their Intervals.icu calendar and they are ready to go!
Thank you for all your effort @david! Intervals.icu is phenomenal.
I’m new to Intervals but loving everything I’ve seen so far. I have been playing with the workout builder trying to get some workouts for my Garmin Edge 520 Plus. Everything seems to be working fine for me (creating workout, scheduling it on calendar, syncing to GC, showing up on Edge device). My issue is that I don’t see the text that I enter in the “Text to display to athlete” on my Edge. Is there something I might be missing in the syntax, or is this something not supported on Garmin devices? Example below…
Test text to display 60m 55-75% power=1s 85-95rpm
Apologies if this is answered somewhere else. I tried searching but couldn’t find anything.
It looks like you have it right. I just did a test on my Edge 130+ and the text for the step was not displayed. I checked and I am sending the correct data through to Garmin. I Googled a bit and it looks like this might be a Garmin limitation:
Hi David, would it be possible to have a flag to turn off the show_avg=1 tag when exporting to Zwift. I’m personally not a fan of it when using ERG mode on a smart trainer to keep my power where it needs to be.
So far I’ve been editing it out of the workout files using a text editor, but it would be great if this could be done automatically
Hmm, there are some potential edge cases in my own use such as sprints in free-ride mode and designing ones own FTP tests where having average power displayed would be useful.
SMaybe the flag could turn it off for the majority of the workout (off: show_avg = 0), while leaving it on (show_avg = 1) in free ride mode?
I have added a flag “hidepower” that you can put anywhere in the text to get rid of the show_avg in the zwo file from that point onwards. If you want show_avg to come back (e.g. on free ride sections) use “/hidepower” to disable the flag.
Thanks for this great tool. Is there a way to add a “category” tag to the workouts exported for Zwift?
I can do it manually, would be nice to capture it while I was building the workout. Here’s a couple images that shows what I’m attempting to do, essentially the category tag puts it in a folder with that name in the workouts within Zwift
Would it perhaps be possible to add %w’bal/%w’bal reserve as a target value that would be reached upon specifying power (so duration is set) or duration (so power is set) - e.g. starting at 100% w’bal a target 0% w’bal reserve and duration of 20 min would insert an interval of 20 min in duration and a power target such that after the interval w’bal is at 0% (so, in this case a 20 min interval at 20m MMP).
The notes / remarks are shown in the current training field.
However, if you want to have notes available in fields other than the default training fields, use the IQ: Workout Notes field. It is a double field that displays notes for the current and next training step.
