Feature request, running workouts: add warmup option

[kimberg]

For aerobic and other run workouts, there is often just a HR (or pace, however you have your own plans set up to decide) for the whole time. E.g. “run for 70 minutes” and a HR range. However there is no warmup built in, so as I’m doing drills and ramping up, my watch keeps beeping warnings that I’m out of compliance with my workout, e.g. my HR is too low or my pace is too slow.

Can we please add ~5 minutes of warmup to our run workouts? I personally like to do things like a-skips, b-skips, c-skips, curtseys, toy soldiers, and a slew of other drills and then ramp my HR up over a few minutes, and would love to have time built in for that w/o my Garmin yelling at me.

(Even better, if you want to add recommended drills in the writeup/plan for these warmups up that we can mix in…)

My Aerobic Development sessions look like this - with warum up and cool down:

Most of mine look like this as well. Slower warmup and cooldown with a main bit of Aerobic work in the middle

@kimberg I love this and we are discussing on how to proceed what would you like to see on your end?

Interesting that some of you have warmups - I don’t even on a 1.5 hour run. It just jumps into the main set and my watch alarm is going off every minute for being out of compliance :

@Marjaana I’d love to have what they have - WU for 5-10 minutes, CD for 3-5 minutes.
And also would love a list of warmup drills, with links to videos/graphics for those new to the drills - perhaps similar to how our strength workouts are set up:

This is what I’m thinking also. Thanks for the input!
