Currently the TrainerRoad outside workout .FIT file defines lap power as the target type for the Garmin default workout page. Here is an example, where lap power is “Step Avg. Pwr.” at the top of the screen: [74] This is not very useful, and workouts from Garmin Connect and TrainingPeaks use 3-sec…

Wanted to report back on Sir5’s updates to the data field. I’m loving it on my 1030, and the option to move the lower/upper target numbers on either side of the actual, along with using the needle in white, makes it even more readable and useful. Thanks, Sir5!

A bit OT have you still got sound on your 1030? Its intermittent on mine (sound/no sound) and more ‘no’ recently; it make workouts a pain sometimes. Do you feel the target field is good enough to follow without sound?

[image] timb34: a clear indication of target power would be very useful for me I agree 100% with this. This is one aspect where I’ve learnt that people are so different! I can’t handle a range, I just want one number to focus on, but others feel passionately that they want a range to focus on…

[quote=“HLaB, post:76, topic:59864”] Do you feel the target field is good enough to follow without sound? [/quote]Yes, I have sound, but don’t really think about when I hear it. I know I get countdown to the end of an interval beeps using a TR workout pushed to the 1030, but am not thinking about…

Thanks. Yip you get the countdown sound (unless you disable it) automatically but I think you have to enable the power range alerts and I don’t know if they are related to the target. I don’t know if its a bug or connection issue with mine its often losing the sound board. For me not having the c…

Also bumping this request. I feel lap power is completely useless and makes people feel they are meeting workout requirements when they aren’t. I also rather not have to deal with a custom screen - I like the garmin screen.

[image] bikeonbikesonbikes: I feel lap power is completely useless Completely agree.

The argument that 3s target power is too difficult for some athletes to complete an outside workout is silly. No one is good at this without practice. This is a tool for training, and learning how to hold steady power in varied terrain and at varied cadences should be the point. Step average might a…

Agreed! @trainerroad This seems like it would be a relatively simple swap of data fields that would alleviate the complaints of a ton of users, myself included. 3sec power instead of Lap/Interval Step Average) PLEASE :pray: I’ve even heard @Jonathan say on podcast episodes that users should be focu…

Old user long time since using TR… is this still the case that the outside workouts are avg lap power vs 3sec?

The ‘Target Power’ data field is now updated for the 1050. It has been working on mine for the past couple of months.
