New Workout Creator

We still have some improvements to do. Like CMD+Z working correctly and the text descriptions at the right are legacy mode. But I think most and I hope all people that create workouts like this one a lot more. I personally am switching to instructional content creator mode for a while. We have created a lot of new stuff and not documented it well. If you ever used sets and reps in the past, this is improved a lot. You can do complex arrangements now and it will be 100% predictable.

See below. Soon we will do lots of cool stuff like running workouts and fixed watt workouts… Fixed watt will be private only…

Looks like this may have broken the W’ bal graph. It doesn’t show up anymore. I really liked having that for HIIT workouts.

Oh good one. It will be back, thanks

Using the new workout creator to look at a workout I created in the previous workout creator, is something odd about the timings?

115 + 2.5 <> 120, does it?

When I created the workout, the cooldown was in two stages

2.5 mins at HR target 120 and then 2.5 mins at HR target 115

then the 20 seconds at 50% FTP

Can you send me a link to to that workout? I can’t reproduce this creating a new workout.

When I create one.

This is fixed and even improved. @BlackTek mentioned a long time ago that our CP calc method was not perfect. I eventually understood what he meant. CP and FTP should be independent. We have done this and I added CP line to make it obvious.

This is not realistic example but illustrates the point FTP=180 CP=220, FTP% is 120% for interval but since CP is higher it does not affect W’Bal… this stuff gets “ugly” just making it as clear as possible. Also put a simple switch on this page for metrics vs W’. Creators care more than general workout searchers… so giving creators simpler access to this feature and hiding it from the “unaware.” :slight_smile: on other pages.

Also added nicer row selected indicator with underlined black.

Reversing it makes it more obvious. 100% of FTP affects W’Bal if CP is less than FTP. This would be rare or never unless someone creates their own definitions a bit different than standard. Both mean the power you can go forever and neither mean the power you can go for ever so there’s that…

Here you go

Fixed the workout itself. Are you saying this affected the workout in the app? I am asking my developer to confirm his fix also fixed the api for the mobile app.

You can see what would happen if I tried to do your tempo workout… death at 65 minutes… really probably faster than that… but I overestimate my CP…

thanks, it is fixed now in the editor, the missing 2.5 minutes is back

I haven’t used the workout since the new workout creator was launched.

The workout was fine yesterday - performed exactly as expected.

I think you would last longer than 65 minutes if you used that workout - it is HR+ with the bulk of the work at 128 bpm. It shouldn’t really move the W’bal line at all!

No I mean if I tried to do your watts with my CP as shown on my screenshot :slight_smile: The workout with relative watts would be fine.

I’ve lost the ability to create HR-controlled workouts with the new creator. On existing HR-controlled workouts, I’ve lost the ability to change the specific target while editing the workout.

Have you got this box ticked?

Doing so adds the slope/bpm and control columns

Put your hr target in the former and hr+ in the latter

e.g.

Thank you. That worked.

the math is not mathing haha

im also getting an error when i goto save this one, saying slope needs to be between -25 and 25, but i a m not using slope

This is power zones it more clear if you set appropriate watts even though it does not do anything

Strange will test this tomorrow. Not seen this.

I found the bug. If I input the bpm target before setting the hr+ it seems to think its slope by default, regardless of switching to hr+. I deleted all bpm targets, set the rows to erg, then set them back to hr+ and input the bpm targets after and it didnt give the error.

I mean the duration math. Notice the second interval shows 6minutes but it is 90 minutes in the time column.

My hero!!! :slight_smile: This should all be fixed now. Please let me know if you find anything else.
