I mainly row instead of run. Lately I've been doing rowing sessions based on what the suggested workout is (I set the suggested workout to show heart rate instead of pace). I'm starting to think that maybe the watch isn't taking into account the rowing sessions when suggesting new daily suggested workouts. The way I've been using daily suggested workouts is if the DSW is 30 minutes base then I'll do a rowing session that is 30 minutes base.
The reason I'm not sure it's actually taking those sessions into account is because everyday is the same 30 minute base daily suggested workout. If today is Friday and I look ahead in the week, I'll see some more variety such as vo2 or tempo on Sunday or Monday. But by the time it's Saturday, Sunday or Monday, the workouts for Sunday and Monday which were tempo/vo2 will have changed to base. I'm thinking maybe it keeps giving base 30 minute suggested workouts because it thinks the 30 minute base rowing sessions don't count but would make me tired so it suggests another 30 minute base run.
The reason why I was trying to use the suggested workouts is to more easily balance my training effect bars. However within the last week of trying to follow the suggested workouts, because of all the base sessions it recommended, I've now exceeded the low aerobic bar and am short anaerobic. High aerobic is falling but still in the optimum bar range.
