Just had an idea ready here is the Pitch. Let the rider pick from a set of pre-programmed warm-up efforts for a given workout. In my head it would work like this: Say a 1:30:00 workout the warm up is a 15 minute block where the rider has the options between the prescribed warm-up blocks or selecti…

Having standardized warm up and warm downs would be a great idea. Now workouts are limited to set times (45/ 60/ 90 minutes etc.) which often compromise the warm up and/ or warm down. Just have the WU be 10 minutes and WD 5 minutes. And if that means a workout is 61 minutes, so be it.

[image] IvyAudrain: Haha in all seriousness, I wish it were that simple for our developers. I never claimed it would be simple. Ok, maybe the end, but only sarcastically as I didn’t really have a good idea of how to do that… Just an idea of how it could be done. Copying the Ant+ code that …

As someone else mentioned I use workout creator to build warmup sessions especially prior to V02 workouts. It’s very simple and only takes a few mins. Once it’s created it’s a snap to load it.

I mean maybe, if you had a default favorite warm-up option! Then maybe.
