Garmin Edge 840 & 540 Released

Equipment

Last post on ‘new to me’ features for this thread.

This screen requires drilling down two levels:

5. Workout in Training Plan

and the reward is having “Gear” options that lists calories I need to take on the bike to replenish roughly 50% of calories burned at power targets:

5a. Workout Details - Fueling & Hydration

Here is the math for that workout:

  • 5-min at 136W
  • 140-min at 193W
  • 5-min at 136W

Convert to seconds, multiply, and that adds up to 1703kJ of work.

And 851(k) calories is 50% of the 1703kJ work, or roughly 50% of target calorie burn.

For workouts next week, on cooler days, it adds knee warmers to the list.

Going to file a request with Garmin to make that available from today’s workout, versus having to tap on TRAINING > Training Plan > Gear.
