I was hoping to give Power based Running Workouts a try for shorter intervals where HR lag is more of an issue, and created the following workout which results in a crazy high load. My zones seem OK and I’m at a loss to see what I’m doing wrong.
The workout did what I wanted it to do on my Garmin which confuses me even more…
Thanks Gerald, running the workout (pretty much on plan) gives a load of 73 which is what I’d expect - and pretty much in line with yours.
After fiddling about a bit I’ve got it cracked. There seems to be something about my Z5 being effectively uncapped (as it was my top zone) because adding a further zone above this sorts it.
Not sure if this is the way it should work or not?
@david Is it possible to add an option to disable the zone information while editing the workout in the mobile view and have the window displayed in full width as in the previous view. It is very inconvenient to edit in a very small box on the left side while wasting so much space on the right side. Or to arrange it one below the other. The zones at the top and the workout matching the graphic at the bottom
Adding Ride to the calendar. Adding a step to my Warmup (I use the watt range). Also for the MainSet part and Cooldown. But the watt and time scale does not show the structure.
In addition to @Gerald’s answer, I can add that if you have a Garmin, Coros, Suunto or Wahoo watch, you can also upload the workouts directly there. You must activate the option “Upload planned workouts” in the settings.
I don’t know if this is available somewhere but I just couldnt manage to make my sets seen in the activity page. How do I make sure that here I can see my interval and recovery sets easily? Any help appreciated.
This is what I do but it doesn’t seem like it is working. This is different then the picture though.
You need to specify the pace, heart rate, or power you want to train with (absolute, percentage, or zone).
Try this:
Warmup
-Some text to show 20m Z1 Pace intensity=warmup
Intervals
12x
-1m 100% Pace intensity=interval
-Press lap 1m 70% Pace intensity=recovery
Cooldown
-Press lap 16m Z1 Pace intensity=cooldown
