Collywobbles Cadence Targets

The description for the Collywobbles workout in my CoachJack training plan mentions cadence drills, but there weren’t any cadence targets in the workout when transferred to my Garmin Edge or in the app that I can see. What am I supposed to be doing cadence-wise on these workouts? Thanks.

I have to check with Garmin, but it’s in our app it’s just only minimal amounts of cadence work. We need to probably add some text descriptions for a popup saying cadence work is coming in 30 seconds or something as my guess is you just are not seeing it. It will show in the RPM box it is red with two numbers below it.

See below as an example.

Did you see secondary cadence targets in other workouts? I did Kerfuffle today with my Edge 1040 and it was working flawlessly - on the standard workout screen you should see the distance replaced by cadence guidance.

Thanks for the quick reply Alex.

The popup on my screen doesn’t mention cadence - I only see Watts, Percent, Start Time, and Duration. The ‘Collywobbles 15 + CAD’ is the specific workout I was referencing. I didn’t complete the workout utilizing the app; I just tried examining the workout for cadence instructions in the app.

Thanks again.

Thanks Azzieg.

I just started using TrainerDay and this was only my second workout so I haven’t had many opportunities to see cadence instructions on my Edge, but now I know where to find them when they do.

Thanks again.

Oh I see, yes we insert the cadence targets with in the segments periodiclally but you have such short workouts they are not getting inserted. We need to either insert them or not say they are being inserted. I would say if you are doing 15 minute workouts cadence targts are not important, over all they make a small difference in general but they bring some more interest to the workout and can help some people over a longer period of time.

Got it - makes sense.

Thank you so much for clearing this up for me Alex.
