Simple question: When creating a workout in Workout Creator, is there a way to include the countdown beeps (3, 2, 1…) at the end of each segment? I did try starting with an existing workout, but somehow still lost those beeps.

Hey there! Are you still hearing beeps on the not-custom workouts? I just tested this with a custom workout and still got the countdown beeps, for both existing and new intervals.

I use the workout creator all the time. I get the countdown beeps as well as the little noise notifying me when there’s workout text on the screen. (Yes, I put workout text in my custom workouts, usually relating to cadence.) The beeps only start on intervals above a certain percentage of your FTP. …

Thank you dhellman. I think you nailed it. I am playing around with making workouts for my Vasa and the power levels I am putting into the intervals are quite low compared to my FTP. I will try lowering my FTP value before starting the workout and see if that does the trick.

Just be careful–the WC works based off percentage of FTP, so if you just change your FTP, it will still have the same low percentage and therefore no beep. You can always create a workout with a couple of very short higher-percentage intervals (not even that high–even just 70% should do it) and see …

I think this is connected to the “interval threshold” (that is not the proper term, but I can’t remember it right now), that dictates whether a particular interval is a “work” or “rest” interval. There is a mass adjustment (and maybe a white line) that sets which effort level dictates a “work inter…

YES! You’re right–I forgot about that. There’s a setting in WC to set the “resting” percentage. And I bet you’re right that if the interval is above that percentage, you get a beep, and if it’s below, you don’t. That’s much easier to check than my method.

Sweet. I’d love to know if that is the ticket. Good luck testing :smiley:

Makes sense relative to the two workouts I set up. I see that the “Rest Level” is defaulting to 50% of FTP. There is no way in hell I am going to hit 50% of my bike FTP on the Vasa - that would be a huge improvement over where I am right now. If you use the toggle button on the Rest Level, a corr…

Slightly at a tangent to the original question but the only thing I have not been able to manage in WC is to take the trainer out of erg mode as happens during the 20 minute FTP test. I have this about that before and I got the impression it was not possible. That does surprise me because I copy th…
