Aerobic Decoupling AND a Guide?

Nigel Taylor 0

Is this combination possible without getting screwy results?

I ran a very simple guide for an Easy run today from Runna (just one step - 8km real easy pace - didn’t really need the guide but wanted to check it actually works).

I also have the Aerobic Decoupling app activated.

I ran a total of 8.4km.

I also left auto laps (1km) on, as the latest firmware notes implied that was now possible whilst following a guide.

My experience was that I got alerts every 1km, this worked well.

In the app post run…all the summary data is correct, and the lap data is correct if I click on 1km, 5km, or 10km step sizes.

HOWEVER, if I click to view the manual steps…I end up with 4 steps as per the image.

#1 - 10minute lap of 1mile.
#2 - 10minute lap of 1mile
#3 - 50minute lap of 8km
#4 - 3minute lap of 400metres

I think #1 and #2 relate to the Aerobic Decoupling app…it does a 10minute warm up and then 10mins of calibration. (this all threw me as I thought I was getting both 1km AND 1mile alerts for the first 2miles!)

Technically this is all OK, except step 3 started at time 0 and ran for 50mins (ie steps 1 and 2 are contained WITHIN the 3rd step). I didn’t run for 73mins, I ran for 53mins.

It seems like this could be corrected visually whilst retaining all the data - by showing steps 1 and 2 “within” the 3rd step so it would be interpreted along the lines of >>

#3 - 50minute lap of 8km
- - #1 - 10minute lap of 1mile.
- - #2 - 10minute lap of 1mile
#4 - 3minute lap of 400metres

And more probably represented visually in the app as per -

#1 - 50minute lap of 8km
#1A - 10minute lap of 1mile.
#1B-  10minute lap of 1mile
#4 - 3minute lap of 400metres

Is this conceivably an enhancement that could be made?

(note - Strava had the same incorrect “Workout” representation too).
