I bought the Forerunner 965.
On Garmin Connect, when dispaying an activity produced by the 965, I get "Intervals" sheet instead of "Laps" sheet !
I don'nt use workout.
I just run the watch by pressing "Start", then "lap button" several times then "End" button
Can I change that ?
To obtain "Laps" ?
PS : it's a problem for me because I use "Laps" sheet to copy data to EXCEL, to analyse the session !!!
As discussed in the other thread, Garmin is auto-categorizing your intervals, and there's no way to avoid this (except by not pressing Lap, I think).
Couple of notes here:
- I believe this is messing up your "Export Splits To CSV" because multiple laps grouped under a single interval (e.g. Warm Up) are collapsed by default, which affects the export (collapsed laps aren't exported.) Even if you expand all the intervals, you still have the annoyance that any interval which has 2 or more laps will have an extra interval header with the aggregate interval stats.
- As mentioned above, Export Splits to CSV will include/omit laps based on whether their "parent" interval is collapsed or expanded
- if you select "Edit Intervals", you will find that all intervals are set to Run even if the auto-categorized intervals are different
- But if you select Edit Intervals and make any change, then edit them again so they're all set to Run, the change will stick
Having said all of that, I have a workaround for you. When Garmin auto-categorizes your intervals:
- Open the activity in Garmin Connect
1) Select Gear > Edit > Edit Intervals and make any change (doesn't matter what)
2) Edit Intervals again and change all the intervals to "Run"
3) Go back to the activity and select the intervals tab. You will now have 1 "Run" interval which includes *all* of your laps. Expand this interval
4) Select Export Splits to CSV. You'll now have a CSV file with all your laps, and the one interval header at the top (which can easily be deleted.)
Example:
I have an activity where I ran 6k and did some strides at the end. I pressed lap after each stride, which triggered the garmin auto-interval categorization.
Here's how I fixed the splits CSV so it just has laps (and one interval).
1) Edit Intervals and make a random change:
2) Edit Intervals again so all the intervals are "Run"
(Save intervals)
3) Go back to activity and select the intervals tab. Now there's just one interval, which I expand:
4) Select Export Splits to CSV
I get something which is very close to the "normal" laps export: all the laps, plus the single interval header at the top which I can easily delete:
It's a pain but I don't know of any other solution.
Note that once you do this, I don't know of any way to get the original auto-categorization back (unless you delete the activity in Connect and manually import from device, I think.)
