Dual Limit Setting from Athletica, possible?

General

For the past three years, I’ve allowed Athletica’s AI Coach to automatically determine whether each training session should be managed by pace, power or heart rate.

I recently had a lightbulb moment: My Garmin Forerunner allows me to set multiple alerts for the same sport. For example, during a run, I can set both heart rate range and a pace range, so I would be alerted if I exceeded either limit.

This seems like it would allow me to fine-tune my training. For example, Athletica might congratulate me for maintaining the prescribed heart-rate range during a long run, while also noting afterward that my pace was too fast.

I realize I could probably add the additional alerts manually on my Garmin, but I’m concerned that manually modifying the workout might alter or interfere with the workout that Athletica sends to Garmin.

Has anyone found a way to have Athletica prescribe/manage multiple parameters simultaneously, or is the AI Coach intentionally limiting one primary management metric per session?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi there! For the moment it is not possible and as a coach I think it is also one more constraint on training. I mean, if the session is a Z2 where it is more important to keep a metabolic engagement (heart rate) rather than external (power) it is just right to consider only heart rate

Begli intervals where the cardio has a latency to get into gear is more important to keep exclusively power

I hope I was clear​:blush:
