Injuries or sickness

One thing I’ve always thought is lacking from apps like this is some way to modify the trajectory of the training or even pause the training because of some sort of sickness/injury, and the subsequent time off needed to get over it. Usually you come back from one of these scenarios and the app just wants to pick up where it left off, but obviously you’ve detrained to a certain extent and you’re just not where you were so a recovery period sequence of workouts is more appropriate. So I wonder if having a self-reported/ pseudo pause where the app can check in on with “are you still resting”, “are you still getting over something?” Whatever is happening, are you feeling 100% or not…? I’m sure the learning model accounts for this after you produce a less than optimal result than the algorithm was expecting. I often feel like the gains and losses are not managed well in times like this and the works out don’t match the recovery period.

Setting target power >3s for longer intervals

Right now Join uses 3 second power targets for all intervals on the bike. For short (VO2max or tempo) intervals this is ideal. But for longer steady-state blocks like the 3-second window generates a lot of out-of-range alerts from even small fluctuations; a corner, a brief rise in the road, or breaking for traffic. Using different values for target_type / wkt_step_target, the fit file specifications allow for different workout targets, see https://github.com/garmin/fit-sdk-tools/blob/main/Profile.xlsx Currently all power targets are 7: power_3s But for longer intervals, e.g. longer than 4 minutes or longer than 30 minutes, it may be nice to set these as 8: power_10s, or even 9:power_30s. I have tried this myself, using a custom adjusted version of a Join workout, and it makes for a far more relaxing ride, with a lot less alerts, when doing long Z2 intervals. I do not know if these different workout targets are supported across all export options, but if so I would greatly appreciate (an option to turn on) these different workout targets. Thanks for considering it!
