I'm happy to wait if it's going to mean deleting duplicate runs and having not earned all the Conq zones I'd end up with - but if Fetch can avoid the duplicates then will happily do manual uploads

It does make me think what would happen if we were to lose something like affected our mobiles my whole life is on here now. How would you demonstrate what bank accounts you had and about much is in them? Scary thought.

In entries mode you can delete an activity by pressing the dustbin. If you categorise your activities then you can just sort but the uncategorised ones (ie the ones that have just been uploaded) and you’ll easily see the dupes.
SPR Jul 2020 12:49pm, 26 Jul 2020 30,592 posts	0 SPR I'm pretty sure Fetch doesn't spot duplicates. Can't send your workouts to your watch ATM which is a bugger if you want to do a complex one. Luckily my workout today could be set up on the basis interval setup on the watch.
chunkywizard Jul 2020 12:51pm, 26 Jul 2020 9,376 posts	0 chunkywizard SPR, why Garmin do you have? Some of the newer garmins have the ability to create workouts directly on the watch.
SPR Jul 2020 12:52pm, 26 Jul 2020 30,593 posts	0 SPR CW, Garmin 245. I thought I'd read that somewhere but not sure it applies to the 245?
chunkywizard Jul 2020 12:55pm, 26 Jul 2020 9,377 posts	0 chunkywizard SPR on my 945 you start the run profile, press up, scroll to intervals and create one there. Does that work for you?
Rosehip Jul 2020 12:57pm, 26 Jul 2020 17,155 posts	0 Rosehip My workouts are created by the TrainAsOne bot and usually transfer via Garmin connect automatically. It wasn't had to tranfer the session via the laptop. Is there another workout building site that could be used instead of trying to do them on the watch?
SPR Jul 2020 1:00pm, 26 Jul 2020 30,594 posts	0 SPR Yeah, I created an internal workout but that's basically run X, rest Y, so many times which worked for what I wanted today You can't create run X, rest Y, so many times, then run Z, rest A, so many times from what I can see. I actually did one of the latter on Thursday morning and luckily sent the workout to my watch on Wednesday night!
runnerbean Jul 2020 1:02pm, 26 Jul 2020 45,223 posts	0 runnerbean I uploaded to fetch then deleted all the activities on my watch. If it’s on fetch it’s logged so it won’t matter.
