Today's Workout - Change from Pace to HR

A commenter on DCRainmaker's "week in review" post said he can toggle the "suggested workout" from a pace parameter to HR. I went into the workout and sure enough in the menu you can choose "Target Type" and select HR instead of Pace. This is a pretty good feature and I wanted to get the word out in case others are interested.

Very cool! Good to know, a lot of times in the winter I do my tough workouts on the treadmill (often hill climbs), so Pace is a pain (and not super accurate) to cross check pace/slope chart. Easier to target HR ranges (assuming you make sure to account for HR lag and drift...lol)

One more thing, I haven't used them yet, does it beep at you the over/under alert on these workouts like a normal one?

From a functionality standpoint the daily suggested workout works the same way as a custom workout that you might create yourself, or one that you download from a training plan.

I assume if I'm executing a Garmin Coach Program, i won't see the daily suggestions?

Its more if you have anything previously scheduled. So if you have a custom workout a training plan or a coach plan workout scheduled for the day it's going to assume that is what you want/plan to do. You can still access the DSW by going to training > workouts > Today's Suggestion.

Yes. Beeps over or under (for me mostly over...). The graphic is very user friendly adjusting to target range.
