make run power available in structured workouts

+1. This is bordering on market interference Garmin!

This is total speculation, but I'd like to think that Garmin might be gearing up to launch native power support within the next iteration of the Fenix - possibly using a combination of baro pressure, pace and an athletes weight to create something similar to PacePro, but for use of trails. ie, output X power consistently across your 100k ultra and you'll be guaranteed X time. 

I’d prefer to think that they’re going to start with ditching the idiotic limitations on third party running power meters soon. They don’t have anything like limitations on cycling power meters; they can write to native .fit file fields.

No valid reason at all for Garmin to impose such limits on devices when it comes to running. If Garmin ever manage to make a credible competitor product to Stryd then there would be some logic - a great deal of customer inconvenience, but a logic - to the limits. Until that happens, there is really no excuse for limiting the usefulness of both the Garmin product we’ve purchased AND the Stryd. 

Are there other apps which do support power in workouts (including alarms when running outside the powerzone)?

There is Run Power iQ app that supports setting of power limits and alarms when power gets too high or low. But it is just one setting that is used for a whole run.

great thx

My Datarun premium datafield has power workouts with a possibility of setting up a required power zone with alerts for each step. See the manual link at:  https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/360a26c4-e2bb-45b7-8f97-2694ccf74eef

There are versions with 4, 5, 6 and 7 metrics
