Workout Writer tags explained

Tags are reusable effort names like Easy, Tempo, or Threshold.

Instead of typing exact pace, speed, or power into every workout, you can write the session in training language and let the tag carry the target underneath.

What is a tag in Workout Writer?

A tag is a named effort target you can reuse across workouts. Once you set it up, you can keep using the name instead of rewriting the raw values every time.

Why use tags

Reuse the same workout structure over time.
Update effort values in one place as fitness changes.
Share the same session format with different athletes.

Common tag examples

Easy
Tempo
Threshold
Interval

Example with tags

Warmup 15 min Easy
6 x 3 min Threshold, 90 sec Easy
Cooldown 10 min Easy

Tags vs exact values (pace, speed, and power)

Use tags when you want workouts to stay readable, reusable, and easy to share.

Use exact values when you need fixed targets:

Warmup 15 min
6 x 3 min 4:15/km, 90 sec Easy
Cooldown 10 min

Do tags work for different target types?

Yes. Tags can represent pace, speed, heart rate, power, or cadence based targets.

That means one athlete might use:

Easy as Heart Rate Zone 2
Tempo as a pace range

Another might use:

Easy as a low power band
Tempo as a power zone

The wording of the workout stays the same, even if the underlying metric changes.
