Now THIS is interesting:
There is nothing more satisfying than a workout performed to perfection. With the TrainingPeaks Connect IQ app, you can open your daily workout right on the Forerunner 935. Then, let the device guide you through your workout in real time, complete with intensity targets and interval durations straight from TrainingPeaks. After your session, automatically sync your completed workout back into TrainingPeaks for detailed analysis of your performance and to measure your progress toward your goals.
It sounds like they've linked up the new "TP Workout Builder" behind the scenes to sync with the FR935, rather than all that faffing with exporting files and copying them over as there was previously. That's definitely a step in the right direction! I really hope that feature comes across to the fenix 3, although from some of Ray's recent comments lead me to believe the fenix 3 is dead in the water now as far as new features go.
Edited to add: on second thought, considering it would be via a TrainingPeaks CIQ app then I guess there's more chance of that functionality making it over to the F3, so long as the F3's hardware can support it and TrainingPeaks make the app compatible with it. No sign of it on the CIQ store yet, but it'll be interesting to see how that pans out.
Also the new running dynamics pod is interesting, allowing running dynamics without the chest strap; kind of predictable given the widespread implementation of oHR in all the new units.
