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!
