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
