Turn the session in your head into clear blocks you can reuse and schedule. Use power, heart rate, pace or perceived effort while the live graph keeps duration and target changes visible.

## Build

Add warm-ups, work steps, recoveries, interval sets and cool-downs. The live zone profile makes the structure readable before it reaches Calendar.

## Adjust

Change duration and targets directly, reorder blocks, duplicate useful steps and expand repeat sets without rebuilding the whole workout.

## Choose the right target

Create cycling or running sessions around power, heart-rate, pace or perceived-effort targets. Zone-based targets use the athlete profile already available to the rest of EffortSignal.

## Schedule and export

Save templates, schedule a dated snapshot to Calendar, send supported cycling and running workouts directly to Garmin Connect, or export them as FIT or ZWO files.
