Hello,
I have created a training plan by coach Jack, I’m trying to send it to garmin connect and use a workout as usual on my garmin edge 530. But I cannot do this due an error “Garmin supports max 50 steps in a workout”. The question is why workout is divided to so much unneccesary steps? What is the reason to divide a one interval to 2 steps which every is 143 watts? I have also steps like 145W and 143W. What is the different, in workout? Anyway I will do it with some range of wats, so two intervals with 2W different is so stupid.
Hi, in this case, you should send it as Outdoor workout from our calendar, it will simplify the workout.
These workouts are all dynamically generated and some interval changes are for training benefit, some just small variety and some is for visual interest. Most of our users do indoor on our app or Zwift or something so the number of steps and small changes does not matter other than it adds a small amount of variety.
I guess you mean a workout like this that has small changes
Functionally I would say the outdoor one provides the same training benefit as indoor but looks better 
Hi Alex, I would like to simplify my indoor workouts similar to the one on the outdoor but I’d like to do the workout as indoor in the TD app. I tried to convert it to an outdoor workout which is reflected on the intervalsicu workout but on the TD app it remains the same as before with so many steps. Just wondering if there is a workaround for this?
No doubt. This is so obvious. Not sure why we don’t have this. I would almost do it so you can select outdoor style or indoor style in our app so you can decide at the last minute but it can remember your setting. Not sure how soon we can do this but for now what you could do is send to or sync to TrainingPeaks or IntervalsICU and use one of those as your calendar source. If you have all the workouts on your calendar as outdoor and use sync it will just work.
