workout feature request

Former Member over 15 years ago

Hi,

I posted this in the cycling forum but found this forum a little later and it seemed the more appropriate one, so pardon the cross post.

I'm using training center 3.5.1 and noticed (or did not notice as the case may be) that I cannot seem to:

1) print my workouts out.
this in important to to me since my edge 500 cannot load them and I would like to be able to at least print them out so I have it in front of me while I'm on the trainer.
2) related to #1, I would like to see expanded build options for the workouts. For example, I was building a workout where an element included 6 x 2 min sets in HR zone 2 with an RPM of 70. I could get the 6x2 and either set the goal for HR zone or RPM but not both.

I kludged a solution but it is not pretty and does not allow more than two elements.

Any chance that could be in the works or that I'm missing something (very possible since I've been using it < 3 weeks)

thanks for any help
Mike

Just as a minor aside, but Garmin has committed to adding in the Workout functionality within Q1 of this year, to the Edge 500's.

Doesn't solve your other requests, but sorta indirectly does for the first.

That's wonderful news! The 500 was in that sweet spot of functionality and price. It had the features I desperately wanted but not some of the bells and whistles I would have liked. So when it did not have the workouts I was sad but not terribly surprised or disappointed. Getting the workout functiontionality is a huge boon for me.

Multiple targets in workouts?

Been using the workout feature with my Garmin 500 on my bike and for my training I would like to have multiple target. For instance, I would like to have my heart rate to be between 85 and 93% maxHR while keeping a 95 RPM cadence. The training program needs both of these things to be true. Right now I have pick one as a target and guesstimate the other. Any chance there is an update that allow me to do this in TC and/or Garmin 500?

Thanks

P.S. Just checked for updates and I'm running most current version of GTC.
