TrainNow pre-selected duration

Hi,

I wonder if the pre-selected durarion is part of the current suggestion or how else it is determined?
In my case, after now having checked it for months, 30min was pre-selected while I can’t remember that I was setting it to that in the past. But I might be wrong.

From my experience with TrainNow, the duration of the workout is unfortunately not part of the recommendation. Selecting a duration suitable to your available time for the day is up to you.

At least the TR app remembers the last selected duration, not sure about the WebUI.

I believe that the default duration is still 60 minutes.

Are you regularly seeing 30-minute recommendations?

Good question. If I set the duration to something else, go to the calendar and back to TranNow, it keeps showing what I selected.

As I couldn’t train much lately to me the 30min recommendation kind of made sense. But I’d like to know if it came up intentionally or was just a leftover from me playing around with it months ago.

I would assume that this would reset and default back to 60 minutes regularly, but I’d have to dig in to confirm.

Would be nice if you do. I also checked the documentation but it doesn’t mentions any specifics. Just the obvious, that the user can change it.

I just set it to 105min on the web page, then opened the app, went to TrainNow there and saw that it switched from the 105 back to 30min.
So to me that looks intentional.
Maybe that came in with a change lately and was not yet documented?

Would be great if you could confirm!

Ahaa! I’ve heard back from an engineer.

It sounds like 60 minutes is the default, but as of somewhat recently, we’ll save your previous settings, which explains the behavior you’re seeing. :grinning_face:
