I’ve had my watch about 6 weeks now and I’ve just started to try to recommend workouts to see if they make any difference.
Just wondering if people use the suggested workouts or whether they’re just a bit rubbish? How do I know if the suggestions are accurate for what I need?
I hadn’t even thought about creating an event and have it create a program for me!
I’ve heard setting the daily suggested work out to be based on heart rate instead of time or pace is supposed to be much better but I haven’t tried it yet. But from reading around the suggestions are apparently really beneficial. I’ve been following them for a couple of weeks now so still too early to tell.
I think I read that it takes elevation into consideration but it might depend on the device.
I find HR hard to use for harder training such as threshold or intervals, because of the buildup effect. I usually use pace instead.
It’s possible to use power when you create your own workouts, which could be good since it uses GAP. Haven’t seen any way to get that in recommended trakning. I still prefer to run on pace.
