I probably do something wrong. I programm my running workout in the calendar and it’s automaticly send to Garmin Connect. I synchronize my watch but workout doesn’t work. I try with the same workout programm in Garmin connect and it’s work. I supprose so that something in my programmation is not good.
I want :
20 mins warmup in the HR zone Z1 and Z2 [interval called EF]
4* (6 mins @ 100% of my threshold pace [interval called Seuil 60] then 3 mins @ 75-80% of my threshold pace [interval called Recup])
10 mins cooldown in the HR zone Z1 and Z2 [interval called EF]
Warmup
EF 20 ramp Z1-Z2 HR
4x
Seuil 60 6 100% Pace
Recup 3 75-80% Pace
Cooldown
EF 10 ramp Z1-Z2 HR
Edit : auto answer - it’s a little bug of Interval (the system doesn’t put automatically the “m” after the time) + image doesn’t show a mix graph when you use HR based intervals and Pace based intervals
Warmup
- EF 20m Z1-Z2 HR
4x
- Seuil 60 6m 100% Pace
- Recup 3m 75-80% Pace
Cooldown
- EF 10m Z1-Z2 HR
Just to be sure : “Keep HR in Z1-Z2” is not just a comment ? Your programm means that I should run in Z2 Pace (my garmin watch will alert me if i run too slow or too fast) but I “mustn’t” be less than Z1 or more than Z2 in HR. So for example if I run at max Z2 pace but i go in Z3 HR, I must go slower. Do you know if my garmin watch (Fenix 6) will alert me ?
I’m not a running coach, and have only followed a running plan once in my life. My Z1 and Z2 pace was based on me running for (I think) 8 minutes keeping HR below my Z1 and Z2 max. The average pace for those 8 minutes would be my Z1 and Z2 pace. That would be the pace I would then keep below on the warmup and cooldown.
From a cycling perspective, I would apply the same principle though… what is the purpose/goal of the session?
If the beginning and end is purely a warmup/cooldown, and the repeats are the goal of the session, I would set the workout based on your %Pace.
Wahoo requires the power target to be instant (1s) power. When a FIT file is downloaded Intervals.icu uses the Athlete’s Garmin settings to decide the default power target. I really need to add profiles or something (Download FIT → For Wahoo | Garmin etc.) to automatically do this.
You can add “power: 1s” in the workout text before the steps to set the default for the workout. This is a new feature. Before you had to do this for each step.
Bit late, but I wanted to provide an answer should anyone else search for this.
iOS as well as ipadOS sometimes add a .txt to a file extension that’s not „common“ - safari often does this for me when I download gpx files. I haven’t really found a „non IT geek“ kinda way to fix it as the „normal open Files app and rename“ process won’t help as the .txt isn‘t shown. I usually move those files to the local storage of my ssh client (which natively supports ls, mv and such) and rename them on the command line right in there.
The file being greyed out is due to the file check only checking the „real“ extension (which is probably txt) and not the „extension“ you’re seeing.
A proposed workaround would be to extend the file check to also allow .zwo.txt or .gpx.txt - if that’s at all possible
You can’t do a range for duration. Intervals.icu needs to know the duration to calculate training load and so on.
Not currently. I did consider adding that at some point but it makes a lot of things more complicated, both within Intervals.icu and for apps that integrate with Intervals.icu.
No problem. Not really an issue anyway.
But out of curiosity, doesn’t intervals.icu not also need to know the %ftp in order to calculate load too? I assume in an FTP range it takes the midpoint to calculate load. Could the midpoint of a duration range not also be used to calculate load?
Yes choosing the midpoint would work. I could probably get this done thinking about it a bit more. I don’t need to store the range just the mid point so no change to file generation or anything.
Hi! Would it be possible to add an option for the range of Garmin workouts export based on watts, instead of percentage? for example 80% FTP +/- 10W instead of 80% +/- 2.5%. I’m new to running with power and, using a percentage based range, I sometimes find the range too tight for warm-up and recovery but too wide for higher power levels. Thanks!
Does anyone know of a workout creator that will create a ZWO file from a cut and paste of a workout description from the WhatsonZwift group workouts page?
An example is as follows. Intervals won’t interpret it, and ZWOForge works but doesn’t pick up the cadence targets. There is ZwiftConverter on GitHub, but i can’t get it to work due to my lack of expertise.
