Similar to the current “Extend Warmup” and “Extend Cooldown”, it would be great if there was an “Extend Recovery”. That is, if I’m doing 4x6 minute intervals at 105% of FTP with 4 minutes recovery between intervals, and I need more time between say the 3 & 4 interval to recover, I could hit “Extend …

+1 would love to see this implemented. Would be a matter of making the “extend” button available throughout the workout, not only during warm up/cooldown

I was wondering if there’s anything in the works around adding the “extend” feature to every interval, not just warm up/ cool down? For instance, there have been a few instances where I’ve felt great on some threshold or vo2 max intervals and have wanted to add a minute or two on to the rather than…

I agree, sometimes I want to add time at end of ride and I have to bump it 50% to have tension on the pedals

+1 would be very welcome. I use the resistance mode workaround and it’s clumsy. (Other workaround would be to set the time back but that’s even more clumsy and you lose data.) @Bryce Super cool would be to have a switch that enables a “dynamic interval mode” that “keep the interval power target af…

Feature Request: Extend recovery period between intervals: inute +1 for this request. Ability to extend either the “work interval” or the “rest” interval. Basically the extended buttons should remain active throughout the workout.

Thanks, all! Merged existing threads on this topic and will pass along to the team. :v:

[image] mcneese.chad: Not to discourage this request. But you can use the Pause button to do this right now. Problem here is that you don’t record that paused part of the workout. If nothing else for tracking and progression purposes.

Sure, like any “hack” I mention, it is not perfect. Notably though, TR is actually tracking pauses and such, to accurately review and track the Progression Levels, and assign the workout completion surveys as appropriate according to how they see the workout. That is not necessarily visible to the…

Another “hack” is to backpedal… that is significantly better than just more forward spinning… although in some cases I can see that an extra 30s easy spin might mean a better interval afterwards

The real “hack” along with @mcneese.chad would be to record the workout on another device, and then upload that workout record instead of the TR recorded version. But I’m not sure what other havoc this would play with AT.

The timing of the pause will determine its impact on the pass/fail aspect of your workout.
