So folks, I train on long distance trails and use both the workouts and navigation 'alerts' on my watch. Having gotten fed up of the constant audio navigation prompts interrupting listening to audiobooks ("Turn Left in 20.234m" etc etc) I turned that off.
I then found that whenever I was out of the training zones in my workout it would constantly tell me I was too fast and/or too slow - over and over again. So I also turned workout audio alerts off.
All I left on was activity alerts and 1km lap alerts. See my settings in the photo.
When running yesterday using a route and workout, I received no audio alerts for the first segment of the workout where there was no zones set (warmup). But when the second workout segment started I had audio notifications of both the new segment starting and that I was out of target zone.
I'm trying to understand if this is an activity audio alert or a workout audio alert? I thought it was a workout alert which is why I turned it off, but maybe its an activity alert?
Can anyone clarify what exactly activity audio alerts cover and what workout audio alerts cover. I guess I could just turn it all off but would rather try and understand what's going on.
Thanks in advance all.
