Garmin Edge 530 Training_secondary objective

8817759
over 2 years ago

Good morning,
I use Garmin Connect to create custom bike workouts. When I activate the workouts on my Garmn Edge 530, on the dedicated viewing page, I do not see the secondary objectives but only the primary ones.
How can I solve to see both data?
Thank you

    I'd love to see the secondary target on the workout page too. Garmin's solution seems to be an uprade to E1040

    Hi,

    I have actually written a data field to do exactly this.

    However as Garmin don't provide the secondary objective via the API, you do have to add something in the notes field of the step that includes a secondary objective.

    Try the TrainingEdge data field that you can install from Connect IQ Store.

    A little more information to add to my previous post, regarding the Traing Edge data field.

    The data filed I wrote displays both the primary and secondary targets, and displays both the current values and the average values for current step.

    Along with this, it also shows you what the next step is, so you can be ready for the next effort.

    The only thing is, that because Garmin have not provided the secondary step information in the API, you do have to add a short entry in the notes field of the step to describe the secondary objective. (i.e. Sec:0080:0100:RPM )

    As you have to add text to the workout notes, I don't think it will work with workouts that are sync'd via other apps such as Training Peaks, but works perfectly well with workouts created in Garmin Connect.

    Please try the 'Training Edge' data field that you can install from Connect IQ Store. Make sure you read all of the description to understand the syntax to use when adding the step info to the notes section.

    Hopefully this will provide what you are looking for.
