Hello ! Today I had an interval of 5 sets by my coach. I manage to reach the 3rd set, but it was imposible to go further.
The only option I had was to cancel the training session all together. I would like to be able to save my progress there and continue with cooldown session.
How do you think about this ? Anyone has a workround ? Do you think it’s a good future request ?
thank you in advance and sorry for my rough english…
Hi @GeorgeK and Welcome to this forum.
Personally, I like this kind of challenge. I had an interval which took me almost an hour to complete. It was awful but I was so happy once I finished.
If you are sure that you can not manage an interval (or god workout) because of time or your actual fitness, you can always use the Quick Adapt in order to get a shorter or easier session.
I don’t know but this feels like a bug more than a feature. It’s like, doesn’t matter how I feel and doesn’t matter what the conditions are, I am forced to complete the workout. Being a diabetic, sometimes the glucose levels fluctuation force me to stop workouts here and there. This feels like such a bummer and I don’t know why is it not being released as a feature yet.
As a workaround, would it work to swipe through the remainder as if you’d done it and give feedback at the end that you couldn’t complete the exercises and why?
I think this is the intended flow, although I very much agree it is not intuitive at all, and there should be an option to end early.
Having said that, many people don’t see results because they don’t push themselves hard enough. How many times have I heard “I stop before I start sweating because I don’t like to sweat/strain”. So it is necessary to have tough targets (as long as it is not a real threat to health, obviously).
I get that the app wants to push the people to their limits. I would say it is an extreme step to not let the users stop an interval for that. Maybe a simple dialog can do that. Or the app can take the feedback on why the interval was ended. How hard of a feature is that?
