"Skip group" for run trainings?

Stephan 11 days ago

I have setup a strength training with 10x10 sets.. i'm using this even when doing less sets by "skip group" to switch from one exercise to the next. Works pretty well.

Is there something similar for run training? For example i created a run training with "warmup", a "set" of 30x 1min fast / 1min slow, "cooldown". Which would be 60min of over/under training.

When i'm short on time is there a easy way to skip the remaining sets and go straight to the next group (in this case cooldown) like its possible for the strength training? I didn't find anything like this and pressing "back" 15 times to get to the cooldown is really annoying.. is there a better way?

You could hold UP for settings and select Cancel Workout. It won't do *exactly* what you want, but it will skip the rest of the workout and allow you to keep running. The only quirk is that the post-workout interval will be classified the same way as the final workout interval (not including intervals that were skipped). So if you cancelled the workout during a Recovery interval, then the post-workout interval will also be Recovery, although you'd probably prefer for it to be Cooldown. You can always manually edit intervals in Connect if it matters to you.

Could do this for that case..

But maybe this would be a good addition from garmin.

I would do simple a new short activity - 10reps? and set a warm-up/cool-down "till press LAP button" so you can pick it up from your trainings menu.

Yeah probably. You can submit an idea to Garmin here:

[https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/]

I think it’s a shame that they don’t have a public ideas page where employees can comment on an idea, and other users can discuss and vote on it, like Spotify. They have these forums, where Garmin is unlikely to offer feedback, and they have the ideas page, where nobody in the community can see what you’ve submitted and you have no idea if Garmin even reads any of it.

Lap button I believe is the only option in run acitivity.
