Allow a coach to set time in zones for workouts in exercise library

Details:
1. The idea is to set the amount of time spends in every training zone in the exercise

  1. For example (for zones S1-S7):

We have 2:30h training which consists of:
- 20min preecool, S1-S2
- sets for LT: 5x5min S4, 3min breaks S1
- 20min cooling, S1
- power intevals: 3x1min S6, 5min breaks S1
- S2 to the end of the training

And the coach can set (during presribing the training) time in every zone, in a separate window/section in an exercise view:

S1 = 40min
S2 = 82min
S3 = 0min
S4 = 25min
S5 = 0min
S6 = 3min
S7 = 0min

There could be an option: "add the remaining time to zone X". Zone X is set by the coach.

  1. In which would it help?
  • creating exercises to the library with a specific amount of time spend in every zone
  • facilitated planning time spent in the zones during the week / microcycle
  • facilitated comparison of scheduled time zones with the one really made

    He also has a target cadence, so an example would be:
    10min L2 warm up
    ---
    40min L3 with descending tempo every 5min then back up
    cadence: 90,80,70,60- 70,80,90,100
    ---
    10 min L2-L1 cool down

    So I would want to create a structured workout with the 10 mins warm up, then the dual targets of power L3 and cadence 90 for 5 mins. Then the next one is power L3, cadence 80 for 5 mins, and so on.

    My coach specifies the target power for an interval mainly according to power zones, but occasionally part of the workout will specify a % FTP. It would be great if the structured workouts allowed both power zone and %FTP to be specified as the target for an interval. Right now there is only %FTP. I can see it would be straightforward to add zones and that allowing both would be trickier. Just to have zones would be a good improvement.
