HR-Based Workouts

Choose HR or HR%

• HR: use a fixed bpm band such as 140-150
• HR%: use a band relative to a rider-profile reference such as HR max
• Use HR targets only when the workout is truly heart-rate-led, not just as another way to say power

What control settings do

• Starting, minimum, and maximum power define the allowed correction window
• Fallback power is the fail-safe command if heart-rate signal is lost
• Heart-rate safety cap is a hard protection boundary, not the normal working target

Preview profile versus export

• Preview profile values help the editor resolve and visualize relative HR targets
• They are editor-only context and are not the same thing as workout-level control settings
• A workout can still be structurally valid even when preview wants more rider-profile context

Best first structure

• Easy warmup
• One steady HR-controlled work block
• Easy cooldown

This is the easiest way to verify strap reliability, trainer reaction, target realism, and control-range feel.

What happens during the ride

• Ewoc shows current HR, target band, and the available trainer power adjustment range
• If HR rises above the band, Ewoc can reduce trainer power within the allowed range
• If the signal is lost or the safety cap stays exceeded, the workout can stop
