GARMIN CONNECT:Workouts with repetition should support more options (similar to TC)

Hello Garmin development.
Right now, when you create a workout with repetition in Garmin connect you can only set the number of reps.
In Garmin Training Center you can specifiy:
-Repeat step: a specific number of times.
-Repeat step: After I go a certain distance.
-Repeat step: After I go a certain amount of time
-Repeat step: After my heart reaches a specific value.

It would be great if such options could also be available in Garmin Connect.
Although I understand some devices are not compatible with such options, it could just be available for devices that support that (such as my 910XT).

Thanks very much and keep up the great work !

Are you using Connect modern - because I am using the classic OLD version of connect and I have all of these options that you mention

Thanks for replying to that thread.
I may be missing something then. Please find attached a screen shot that shows my Garmin connect / Workout dialog. I can only change the number of repetitions...
Are you sure you are not using Garmin Training Center where it is actually available ? Would you mind sending a screen shot of the options you've got ? thanks

The trigger for the repeat is set at the step level so you say repeat 5 times then have a step that says - run for .25 miles or run until HR 160 etc

Does the attached help?

Yes, I know that it is available within the leg but not at the repetition level.
I'm not sure whether or not you have ever used Garmin training Center but it odes offer the functionnality I mention.
Check the attached image.

Thanks.

Yes I have used TC in the past and I see what you mean - you can create the workout that you need in connect as long as your trigger is heart rate exceeding a certain level (but it is less easy and clear to set up) also you cannot set a step to cease when your HR drops below a certain level which would be very useful for a recovery step after a hard interval.

I suggest that you post this on the features required thread and see what the response is - TC is much easier to use in general but the world seems obsessed with having the social media functions of strava etc rather than the real training tool features that we actually need :(

Tanks for your response. It seems we are on the same page now :-).

ME: I may be wrong but that was my intend when I logged this on this "Feature Requests" section.
Anyway. Thanks for your replies. Take care.
