Training on treadmill without strava/peloton/etc.

[Qhilm]

Hello all,

I'd just like to be able to track my runs on my treadmill (Domyos Run500) and log them in Apple Health. I don't have particularly demanding requirements, so I don't want to pay for Strava or Peloton; it just wouldn't be worth it for me.

I track my outdoor runs using the free version of Runkeeper, and it's good enough for me.

Now, to my question: how can I simply use the treadmill's training modules while having the QDomyos-Zwift connected to it? I'm using the beta version of the app, which logs the activity to Apple Health.

At the moment, when I connect the app to the treadmill, all the controls on the treadmill get disabled, I can't select any training module anymore; it expects the app to control it. Any idea how I could go about this?

You can create workouts from the workout editor in qz. It's what I'm doing every day. Were you asking this? Roberto Viola I sometimes trade time with my daughter to help.

This app keeps getting better and better =)

Now I am very inexperienced. I am looking for some standard workout for treadmill? Basic endurance workouts, calorie burn, training. 30-45 min is perfect for me.

If there's a repository of tranings I can look at and import into my app, that would be ideal.

I usually use garmin for the workouts but also chatgpt or similar can do for you. If you tell them to use the https://github.com/cagnulein/qdomyos-zwift/blob/master/src/trainprogram.cpp it will create directly the xml to import in qz ;) Roberto Viola I sometimes trade time with my daughter to help.

Pretty nice, thanks, it worked for me too.

One follow-up question. I see there's a PID setting which can be set to a specific heart rate zone. I have a Polar H10.

I can't seem to find a way to change the heart rate zone of the PID during a workout, or am I missing something (and is the LLM too)?

I see I can set heart rate zones during the workout (for example zonehr="2" hrmin="115" hrmax="132"), but as far as I understand, these settings won't automatically change the speed/inclination of the treadmill depending on my heart rate.

[cagnulein]

enable the PID heart tile and change it from there.

yes also that lines changes the speed of your treadmill in realtime, but not use zonehr with hrmin and hrmax, or you use zonehr or hrmin and hrmax

let me know

[Qhilm]

ah, ok, it's either zonehr or hrmin+hrmax.

So this here will automatically change the speed to keep my heart within the heart rate zone 2? I don't need to enable the PID setting for this?

Thanks. It will always be the speed that is changed to raise/lower HR, not the inclination of the treadmill, is my understanding correct?

It's fine like that, I just want to make sure I understand correctly how this works.

[cagnulein]

yes it changes only the speed. there is also a speed power based setting in the treadmill options in qz that does change the speed if you change the inclination to match the power Roberto Viola I sometimes trade time with my daughter to help.
