Tried doing a TD workout outdoors today for the second time (first time didn’t realize there was a function to make it an outdoors workout) but I was disappointed to find there still weren’t lap breaks built into the workout.
Is that correct or am I still doing something wrong when getting a workout from TD onto my Garmin?
Happen to be visiting family in the rural midwestern US where the roads and long and straight so no big deal, but at home not being able to get to a good segment before starting the next interval is more problematic.
Couldn’t find a recent forum topic on this but sorry if I just missed something.
Hi, when editing a workout you can just add “oe” in our workout editor. OE standards for open ended.
See below
You can clone an existing workout and just add OE to the warmup for example. Coach Jack workouts should automatically add OE for warmup and cool down for Garmin. I am just switching from Wahoo back to Garmin, maybe I can test this soon
The workout in question was one from my Coach Jack plan and it just rolled right from warmup into the intervals with no lap button press required.
But I’ll give the editing workouts thing a shot if that’s what’s needed for now, thanks!
Sorry this still has not been looked at. Seems like lots of other craziness. I will try to test this in the next couple days and have my developer fix it if he has time.
Thanks for following up! I haven’t had a chance to test it much myself either, adding the OE to a workout has been easy enough to make sure it works, though to be honest I’m almost always using my phone and not a computer so it’s slightly awkward to do the workout editor and it would be great if it just pushed to garmin with lap button presses built in!
Just want to add I tried this again today and no luck, sent a HIIT workout from my plan to my garmin and there was no break from warmup, just dove right into the first set.
I did want to clarify to make sure I’m doing it right though as it seems like there’s maybe a couple of different steps or ways I could get it to my garmin so maybe I’m making a mistake?
It seems like the easiest way to send a workout to Garmin is through the app using the send function, selecting Power and selecting Outdoor. That’s what I did today and no luck on the lap button presses.
But not sure if setting the workout to outdoor first in my calendar or something like that would have changed anything? I figured choosing to send it as Outdoor would accomplish the same thing and it seems like it did since it did the usual smoothing of the warmup ramps like it does when converted to outdoors.
I need to test this, will do it today or tomorrow. In the past it worked “Send to Garmin” as outdoor. This Garmin sync with outdoor converted is a new feature. I will test that also. I assume you mean Coach Jack based HIIT. Any other workouts you must manually add your own open ended segments by first cloning it.
