What I read from the article is that my mWkR as a function of the time should be shown in my Garmin device? Because if that is the case, they were not matching.
As I’m reading it in my session my mWkR was 10% but I’m pretty sure that I never saw that in my Garmin Device.
Here is the minimum value displayed in real time, during your session. Excuse formatting I’m not at a PC. Thus -9.2%, which aligns pretty well with the -10% shown post ride on the web…
You see the date and time on the right, that is for your workout reserve profile on your device. You want to allow time for that to update, which means your device and paired phone turned on and near each other with Internet access. You don’t need to obsess about every session, but your workout reserve profile is updated on the web everyday. If your device starts to use a much older profile the numbers will get out of line.
Here’s mine for comparison when right up to date. This was a recovery ride, thus no low min WR.
Hi, played with this some more today. I pushed the stop button on a 1040 while riding, which caused the WR to reset to 99, pushing the stop button again, resumed the workout, all other counters continued ( time, avg power, HR, Garmin Stamina etc), but WR started from 99%.
Possibly shouldn’t reset on stopping and resuming a workout, this is without power off or sleep.
I did multiple stop / starts on my Edge today and at no point did it instantly jump back up to 99.9%. Can you let me know date and time of session you saw this, and your name in Athletica so I can take a closer look at it next week.
Phil, played with this again today. Stoping and starting did indeed do nothing at the start of a workout (first 15 minutes), but it did instantly reset from 77% to 99% after a while, tested at 56 minutes. I’ve attached a video of it, you can see it reset to 99 just before the screen changes to the finish screen. Restarting the activity continues from 99. Must be a length componet involved.
It happened on this afternoon’s ride (Thurs 23rd) at the end andalso on Sat 18th long ride, about 10 mins before the end. I’ll pm my email.
@Phil - Actually I did pay a lot of attention today to my WR Athletica data field. As I mentioned previously, there is a bug. If you see my session, at the mark 52:49 the WR reserve is matching exactly as it is in the data session. However, after the 1hr the WR Reserve “resets” and starts at 99% which it should have been at 5.48%.
This happened also previously in my endurance rides when I do it outside. Can you take a look to it?
I’ve been digging into your data. It takes a while to pull the Garmin data into a format where I can do this. The below is from your Sat 18th long aerobic session.
I’ve found the jump to 99%. There are some clues in the data in the fit file, as that number 12 should only appear at the very beginning of session. I can also see there’s what is called an event timer event called stop all at this exact point in time.
The 37 and 39 numbers are minutes, which is the period you were stopped. This ties into the post session chart between 2 hours 10 mins and 2 hours 49 mins.
Well I’ve found where it happened, but yours is even more puzzling. Puzzling as in lack of clues in the fit file. Am I right in that your device is the Edge 1030 Plus?
I think I’ve worked out what is happening when the data field is going back to 99%. In essence your Garmin devices are briefly suspending / resuming the data field to free up resources temporarily. There’s no crash, which is what was puzzling me. When it does this, it is essentially starting from scratch with its initialisation of the calculations. You are the first two to report this, and I’ve never seen it myself before. Hence it’s taken some head scratching, forensic sifting of what little clues there are, and and some deductions to get to my conclusion.
The good news is that I think there is a way to enable the data field to resume the real time workout reserve calculation state from where it was, when this happens. It’s not a simple fix, but I’ll get to work on it, to include with the next release of workout reserve which is bringing some cool new features.
If you see this happen again before I can get a fix released, then don’t worry about losing your session. That will be fine.
As Sherlock Holmes said
“When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
@Phil do you know when we would be able to have the new release? (more asking since an importante race is coming in a month and the data field is worthless if it doesn’t work - I would rather remove it from my screens)
The “restart” of the field to free up some resources is a hypothesis about the problem or is actually the problem?
It’s not a simple fix and it’s got to be coded and tested. I need to make sure all the many Garmin devices are happy with the changes. I can’t put a date on it yet.
Okay I got it to work on my Samsung Galaxy, Edge 530. The suggestions worked but I had to switch to the desktop site with Chrome and edit the URL that way.
