Customize my exported session


Warm-up duration


With a fixed duration, the watch will automatically switch to the next lap after the warm-up time scheduled in your session. But it's not always easy to be on the track exactly 20 minutes after starting! So you can choose a free duration warm-up if you want to:

  • Do a bit more than planned,
  • Do a bit less (we see you! 👀),
  • Start your hill session only once you've reached your starting point,
  • Or if you simply want to start your session calmly whenever you're ready.


N.B.: when choosing free duration, you need to press the lap button (bottom right on Garmin) to end the warm-up.


Target zone: maintain a pace/speed, heart rate, or power to complete your session successfully


To improve, it’s important to do your sessions correctly: for example, hitting the right pace for your half marathon pace or keeping a low heart rate during an easy run.


In your RunMotion Coach app, you can choose:

  • A training target for your warm-up and endurance sessions,
  • A different target for your interval sessions!

For example, you can monitor your heart rate during easy runs and target specific paces during intervals!


For power, not all watches are compatible. It should work with Garmin and Coros — test it if you're a power fan.


But where can you do this in the app ❓

It’s super simple.

In your profile (1️⃣), via "My RunMotion" (2️⃣), access your plan settings, especially the "Export training plan" option (3️⃣)? There, you can choose:

  • The target for Warm-up & Endurance: set the target you want to follow during your training ("No target, Speed, Heart Rate, or Power")
  • The target for Intervals ("No target, Speed, Heart Rate, or Power")
  • Warm-up duration ("Free duration" or "Fixed duration")



❓I don’t have a target when I start my session (watch) ❓

If you don't see any target indication during your training on your watch AND the target is listed in the session description, it's because no target has been configured.

We invite you to set it up (see instructions above 👆) and re-export the sessions already sent to your watch. It’ll be fixed for future exports.


❓I don’t have a target in my session description (app) ❓

If there’s no target indication in your session description in the RunMotion app, or you’re unable to select your desired target, it means we’re missing some information:


Enjoy your session!
