I’ve had my watch about 6 weeks now and I’ve just started to try to recommend workouts to see if they make any difference.
Just wondering if people use the suggested workouts or whether they’re just a bit rubbish? How do I know if the suggestions are accurate for what I need?
I have too many hills and some time constrains, so it’s a bit hard to follow them. But I think they are fantastic. They make easy very easy and hard hard.
With HRV on the watch the adjustments to the program based on daily training readiness is superb.
I run quite a lot, and use them as a guidance on when to train hard and when to do easy runs instead. If I lived in a flat area and had time, I would have created an event with goal time and followed the program.
I hadn’t even thought about creating an event and have it create a program for me!
I’ve heard setting the daily suggested work out to be based on heart rate instead of time or pace is supposed to be much better but I haven’t tried it yet. But from reading around the suggestions are apparently really beneficial. I’ve been following them for a couple of weeks now so still too early to tell.
I think I read that it takes elevation into consideration but it might depend on the device.
