Disable Zone Alarm in workouts

Hey garmin folks,

i have a new coach and he is using todaysplan. The workouts are perfectly synched to my epix2 and the training goals including heartrate or speed. If I run too slow or fast in a pace based workout, the epix is getting on my nervs with an alarm every 20 sec that the speed is too slow or high.

I would like to get rid of the zone alarm/notifications and need help to find that option.

Thanks in advance!

I’m not sure if they can be disabled. The point of having a pace or HR based workout on the watch is to alert you when off target. But, a workaround I’ve found is the ranges allowed. E.g. if I say I want to run at a 10:00/mile pace, it alarms at me constantly. But if I program a range of 9:30–10:30 I still get the benefit of being in range…without being alerted if I’m at 10:07 or 9:46, etc.

This is crazy. on the one hand it is a useful feature, but would be great to have the power to deactivate it. Thanks!

Have you tried to switch off workout alerts?

Menu - audio prompts - workout alerts and can also try activity alerts, audio tones..

Good approach. I will give it a try. Hopefully the watch tells me, when my intervall starts/ends anymore ;)
