Good day,
I'm having issues with interval trainings, that I normally do on a track nearby. I'm doing this workouts since several years with my Garmin devices and never had issues.
My workouts (created in Garmin Connect) generally have the following structure:
> Warm-Up until Lap-Button pressed
> several intervals of x meters at a pace between y - z each with a recovery segment of some seconds or a minute in between
> Cool-Down until Lap-Button pressed
Since a couple of months I experience the following bug: I'm doing the Warm-Up and after I press the Lap-Button the first interval starts. Once that is complete the recovery segment starts, but it switches to the next interval way to early!
For example if I put it a recovery time of 1min after the interval, the next interval start in 30s or even less. Same happens if I use a distance as a recovery duration: instead of 400m recovery, the 2nd interval starts after 50m. The duration of the recovery interval seems to be completely random.
So normally I end the training and push the lap button manually for the interval and recovery segments.
But as I read that there's a fix "related to structured workouts" in the Software Update 14.17, I gave it another try today and created a "Test-workout" in which I hoped to not find the bug or at least discover any structure...
Basically that's how I create my workouts, I just put in a slow (walking) pace to be able to focus on what the watch is doing:
Unfortunately even after the Software Update, I experienced several bugs:
Fist of all there's a drop in pace to zero during the "Warm-Up"-segment, although I never stopped walking.
The the first "Recovery"-segment was exactly 34s instead of 1min.
Second "Recovery"-segment was 30s.
The third one only 17s.
What is funny though: In the overview, Garmin Connect is convinced my "Recovery"-segments ("Erholung") all were 1:00min, what is definitely wrong (see above).
There seems to be something really wrong and I'm wondering if it's my watch, I'm making a stupid mistake or do others also experience this big? If anyone of the Garmin Team is willing to have a look at the data in my account that would be highly appreciated!!!
I hope you can help me out!! :)
Best Regards,
Marc
