Available fields

Date

Select a date for the workout.

This data is ONLY used to order the workouts on the app.

It will not publish or change the workout status automatically.

Status

Determine who can view the workout and whether it can be performed.

Draft

When set as Draft, the workout is only visible to admins.

Published

A published workout is available for all group members to see.

Athletes can view the details, start the workout, and report scores. Set the workout to published when you want participants to view and perform it.

Locked

When set as locked, the workout is visible to everyone in the group but cannot be performed.

Set the workout as locked when the deadline to complete the workout has been met.

If the workout is part of a competition, athletes can see the workout details but can't report scores.

Controlled Race

When set to a controlled race, the workout will require the group admin or race organizer to set the countdown to start the race. Learn more here

Note: ErgZone will not publish or lock workouts automatically.

It needs to be done manually.

If you want to have it done automatically, let us know.

Intervals

The PM5 limits workouts to have up to 50 intervals per workout.

Interval Type & Target

Select the workout type and provide the workout length.

Time

Workout

Distance

Cals (calories).

SPM/RPM

Provide SPM/RPM if the intervals have a rate cap.

Note: athletes MUST complete the interval at or under the rate provided if this information is present. Otherwise, the workout will be invalid and won't be used for the leaderboard. For example, if interval SPM is set to 24 and the athlete finishes it with an average of 25, the score will not be valid, and the workout needs to be redone.

Rest

Provide rest in "minutes: seconds" format, such as 1:30, 2:00, etc.

If it is up to the athlete to determine the rest, check the option "undefined." Note: PM5 will only accept rest under 10 minutes.

Notes

Notes will be displayed on the app at the beginning of the interval for 15 seconds.
