Turn off alerts for not being in a workout zone

I have the 955 Solar, and it's my 3rd Forerunner.

I have structured workouts where I set zone targets based on % Threshold Heart Rate. I generally know my structured workouts well and like glancing down and seeing where I'm at. I hate when I fall outside the target zone (which can honestly happen often running hills around my house), and my watch starts alerting me incessantly.

I want to turn "compliance" alerts off.

To be clear, there are other alerts I want to retain. When I go from one phase of the workout to the next, let's say I go from a warm-up to an interval or an interval to a recovery, I want the alert. But if I drop below the target zone from my workout, I don't want to get a vibration and a beep.

I have not been able to figure this out. Is it possible?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, typo in my title, but I can't edit it. Should read: "Turn off alerts for not being in a workout zone"

I memorize workouts to the best of my ability and use my watch without a workout active to avoid the constant badgering. I'm sorry that I can't stay within a narrow target band outdoors on hilly terrain.

I'll do Garmin-Sierra's job for them: Share your idea with the devs at https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/, and hope this becomes an option by the time the 985 comes out.
