Today I continue teaser the 1.0.18 features, and tell about feature that I personally use really frequently!
Personally I’m used to planing workouts by visual cues and landmark.
Instead of running 400m high tempo 200m rest etc etc… I’m planing my workout like
warm-up from home to embankment around 10 min
on embankment from start to the first crossroad - tempo run
rest till the court,
then tempo till the fish restaurant… etc… etc…
it’s pretty difficult to measure structured workout in exact timing… to real city world…
traffic lights… segment length couldn’t be clearly 400m you can run bit different way…
So in Live.τ i can create x-line trigger checkpoints. It allows me trigger Lap (or send message on watch, or some zapier automation) in exact time when i crossing my visual cue and don’t care to tap lap manually, or trying to fit structured workout.
Here is how it works:
set checkpoint on map and chose cross line type
adjust the line by dragging ends, specify trigger direction
seta an action what to do on crossing line - mark a new lap, send some message to your watch, or even trigger custom zapier/n8n/make automations
when you cross the line, the app automatically triggers an action
there’s a really short video how to set x-lines
