Running workouts: remove last recovery in run repeat

squonimo

I create workouts from the web interface on my PC.
Until a few months ago, the removal of the last recovery phase in repetitions was optional via a checkbox.
Now the checkbox has disappeared.
In older workouts where I hadn’t enabled it, I go through all the recovery phases, while in newly created workouts, the last recovery phase is automatically removed without giving me the option to choose.
Would it be possible to restore the checkbox?

    Hmm that's strange, I still see the checkbox in both the Connect website and the Connect iOS app. I have a Forerunner 955. Do you have a newer watch (like FR970 or Fenix 8) by any chance? I wonder if Garmin has removed this checkbox only for newer devices (but preserved the behaviour where it's enabled).

    Dumb Q but do you actually have a rest or recovery step inside of the repeat where you expect to see the checkbox? I'm sure you do, but just double-checking. I did find that if you remove the rest/recovery step from a repeat, the checkbox disappears.

    Can you try using the app?

    If you still don't see the checkbox, I can think of 2 potential solutions:

    - I could create a script to modify the Connect website to restore the "skip last repeat/recovery" checkbox for workouts. I'm kind of reluctant to do this as it's a bit of work and I created a bunch of scripts recently to add features / fix bugs Connect (in response to forum posts) which apparently nobody is using. But if this is something you think you would actually use, I would give it a shot

    - I could give you the instructions to export, edit, and re-import a workout while changing the "skip last repeat/recovery" setting. I wouldn't mind doing this but it wouldn't be convenient for you

    I've a new Instinct 3 and an old Instinct.
    Some days ago I received a warning message on Android connect app telling me "insticnt 3 does not support remove last recovery" or something like that.
    Today I've the same behaviour on both devices.

    Creating the workout via Android Connect app I don't see this behviour

    Hmm it's true that older devices don't support remove last recovery, but what I've seen is that the checkbox is still displayed but you get a warning when you try to sync the workout, similar to what you said.

    Maybe the problem is that Garmin erroneously thinks that Instinct 3 doesn't support remove last recovery, like you said.

    So, are you saying that it works as expected in the Connect app, but not in the Connect website? As you said "Android connect app" in both cases.

    Either way, if this is a bug you should probably contact Garmin support. But if you do have a way to make it work (by using the app), that's probably the best solution for now.

    The warning message and working workout were both on Android App. The missing check box (never appeared on Android App) is in the PC/web app.

    I guess the Garmin web developers made some mess

    I've got an open support call about this.  It was working on both Web and App with my Epix Pro gen 2 until last week.

    My guess is that the last update to my watch borked the feature.  We'll see!
