Interval training screen

Just upgraded my edge fro 820 to 830 today and disappointed to see the interval workout page hasn’t been improved. It still shows instantaneous power rather than the much more useful 3sec avg power and also doesn’t show either the target cadence range or current cadence. I think all cycling coaches prescribe intervals with those metrics in mind (or substituting HR for power if it’s not available.) am I missing something or is this still the case on the edge? Has anyone found a way around this or do I need to just return it and get a Bolt?

thanks, Jan

It will show 3 second power if the workout target is set using 3 second power.

How was the workout created?

Correct. The FTP test has been written to use 10s average power.

Same for me. I don't understand why Garmin don't give us the possibility to add any field at this screen. It's incredible.

Dude, I am very frustrated with this! I just changed from Wahoo Bolt to a Garmin Edge 530 and I can't believe you can only choose one target parameter in the workout screen. I wonder if there is a cyclist at the software department, not a commuter, but a triathlete or road cyclist.

It is essential to be able to see hR/Power and cadence target values and actual values while doing a workout.

I am starting to miss my wahoo bolt unit...

Same. I have a bolt too and the workout screen is far superior.
