TrainingPeaks/Edge 1040 Workout Recommendations

The following recommendations would greatly enhance the performance of workouts created in Training Peaks and executed on the Edge 1040:

  1. Replacement step descriptions (Hard, Easy…) entered in Training Peaks do not carry over to the Edge. For example I will use “Opener” as a description.
  2. The Edge always displays a range for power even when a single value target is specified. Therefore, the rider has to do the calculation in their head to determine the target value.  For single targets the Edge should display just the target and do the range alert calculations in the background.
  3. When specifying to use the lap button to end a step in Training Peaks, The Edge counts time up from 0 instead of down from step time. In this situation the Edge should count time down as usual and if the specified lap time runs out it could display a +, -, or () to indicate time has been exceeded.
  4. Need to display which rep you are on in a multi-rep step.

    The workout screen and data fields are wack.  Here's my list from a year ago.  I don't think anything has changed since:

    Workout data screen:

    The font size for the interval time and target are very small. I can usually see them fine but not in poor lighting or rough surfaces.

    There is no countdown timer for the entire workout on this screen.

    The vertical slider pointer on the left of Target lags and jumps too much to be of value. The central block is red whether I’m above or below target. Different color, perhaps yellow for below would be helpful. Have the arrow respond quicker and more smoothly, or use that real estate for something of value

    The Up/down arrows to the right of 3 sec power are red whether above or below target. It would be better if the color was different, perhaps yellow for below. Also, they seem backward to me. My intuition is the arrows should indicate what I need to do. e.g If power is low, arrow points up indicating a need to increase power, and vice versa. As it is now, the arrow points up if I’m above the target and down if below the target, showing where I am rather than where I need to go.

    When pausing a workout, power averaging isn’t paused so when resuming that interval, the avg power shows much lower during the rest of the interval.  

    For my purposes, the Workout graph is too short, longer or user settable would be good. IDK where "Step distance" comes from. It's of no value to me during a workout. I'd rather see secondary target or something. Or, replace it with two user data fields.

    Data fields:

    With repeats, the "Workout step" shows which step of a repeat you’re on rather than the step number. e.g. 1/2 , 2/2, 1/3, 2/3... If the workout has 12 steps made up of 2x2, 3x2 repeats, you never see which step of 12 you’re on.

    “Duration” and “Time to go” show the same thing, the interval time. There should data field for the time to go for the entire workout.

    If you add a Workout target field to another data screen, it only shows my current power with the up or down arrow beside it and not the target power.

    In the past I have had some very wacky behavior when pausing a workout. Things seem to be much better with the latest releases.

    Step distance now goes away if using a secondary target, like cadence.

    My biggest "wish" is for the step repeat indicator.
