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.
For me the only addition there need to be for running is the possibility to put a range of paces (min/km) or speed (km/h) vs what is already available.
Interval length is either time (minutes), distance (km) or lap press.
Hi,
I tried your workout builder yesterday and it’s amazing thank you.
The sync with garmin connect works perfectly.
What I would like to achieve is to perform workouts based on power range using edge 830, but without having erg enabled. My trainer is the direto xr.
I build the workout using power range, but on the edge that sets up a target on the middle of range and erg is enable.
Does the workout was not build correctly ? Or is it related to garmin which always use erg mode on workouts ?
Thanks to everyone,
Try to pair your trainer as speed/cadence/(Power) sensors only and not as a trainer. You will have the workout on your Garmin Edge and the trainer will not be controlled by your Garmin (= not ERG).
Garmin always sets ERG ON again at every step with a Power target.
If you do the above, it depends on your trainer if you can get enough resistance. You may need to run another app that sets resistance/slope.
I only have a dumb trainer (that I only used in COVID lockdown, its middle of winter here and I can still ride outdoors with just an undershirt) so unfortunately can’t help too much with these sort of questions. Tx @MedTechCD for stepping in.
