Workouts: anyone interested in 'next target power' field?

Hi all,

After writing and using an 'app' for displaying a datafield with the Target Power of the current step of a (structured) workout, I thought that I could use a glimpse to what the next step would have to offer me.

Therefore I wrote (changed a few lines in the previous app) a new datafield that showes 'Next Target Power'. It already helped me out yesterday in preparing for the far harder next step in the workout I followed than I memorized.

Currently I am using the 1030 with the following 10 datafields for structured workouts:

Timer --- Reps to Go

TarPow -- Lap Power

Time to Go -- 3s Power

Last Lap Power --- NextTarPow

Cadence --- Heartrate

The Target Power datafield is in the Garmin-app-'store' (for free), if there are people interested in seeing the next step, please let me know and I will upload that one too (can be made available for all Garmin Edge x30 devices).

Happy training!

I think for me (and others), a field that tells you the strength of the next interval would be useful.
Alternatively, you might think of a field that displays the target power of the current interval and the power of the next interval, with the option to choose whether to enable / disable the field to display. This saves one IQ field, which the Edge 1030 (and others) can only display 10.

Ok, simple datafield 'NexTarPow' is in the IQ-appstore:

As my programming skills are very limited, I leave it to others to build something more special.

Hope this is helpful to you.
