Set Warm-up and Cool Down Time for Interval Training on Ionic Adidas Edition

[Wesleydeveer]

Hi all,

Today I used my brand new Ionic Adidas edition for the first time and I tested the interval training while running. Unfortunately I can't setup a warming up and cooling down, so the only part I recorded with GPS is the actual recorded interval. So, would it be possible to also record a warming up and a cooling down while the total run is recorded as a whole? Or while running to manually start the interval training while everything is recorded with GPS? Am I missing something here or does anyone know if this is an option for a future update to look at?

Sorry if this is already a question but couldn't find it so far. 

Thanks!

Welcome on board @Wesleydeveer, it's nice to see a new member around! For anything else you would like to see implemented in the future, consider visiting our Feature Suggestions board. This is a space where Community users can post features, ideas, and suggestions that they'd like to see in future Fitbit products, accessories, and software and top-voted suggestions get relayed to our product team for review. 

I was making some research and was able to find this idea: 

• Running Feature: Interval Training for Fitbit Watches

Please cast a vote for the ideas and leave a comment to show support for it. 

On the other hand, the adidas Train app on Ionic: adidas edition provides 6 workouts designed to make you a stronger, faster runner:

• Dynamic warm up: Prepare for your next workout with exercises designed to increase your core temperature and get your body ready to work
• Power pace: Increase your power during runs with a workout made to train the body to be more elastic, forceful, and efficient
• Metabolic: Increase your speed and boost your metabolism with this interval training workout that combines bursts of intense movement followed by moments of recovery
• Run activation: Improve your foundation for all running-related movements with a quick bodyweight workout focused on hip, core, and shoulder stability
• Strong stride: Enhance the power and efficiency behind each movement with a workout that focuses on building strength throughout your run
• Post run stretch: Ensure proper recovery after runs and workouts with a fast and easy cool-down stretch

To workout with adidas Train:

1. On your watch, open the adidas Train app.
2. Choose your workout. To preview a workout, tap the menu icon in the top right corner.
3. When you’re ready, tap the Play icon in the bottom right corner. You’ll see a 7 second preview. To skip the preview, tap the Play icon again. Your watch vibrates to let you know when it’s time to start and stop.
4. During the workout you can tap the Pause button in the bottom right corner. After pausing, you can skip a move or end your session.
5. At the end of the session, you’ll see a review of your workout that includes calories burned, average heart rate, max heart rate, and workout duration.

I am trying to use the interval program for spin bike or circuit training but it seems that it is only designed to put in 2 intervals. I would like to see multiple intervals added, like low intensity, medium intensity, high intensity, rest, as well as warm up and cool down periods. I am currently using Endomondo for this feature but it would be really nice to be able to use only one app.

@JessopY It's great to see you in the Fitbit Community.

Thanks for sharing your suggestion. Currently, there are actually no plans to implement a warm-up and cool down time for interval training. In the future, if any change is made, it would be communicated on this suggestion.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
