fitlek adds a randomised Fartlek workout to Garmin Connect for you.

It's called FITlek because the original intention was to create a .fit file that you could upload directly to your watch. That might still happen but going directly to Garmin is working for me right now..

If you just want to give this a go, check out Run Randomly! That's a hosted version of this script with support for downloading FIT files and syncing to Intervals.

Usage

The easiest way to create a new workout for yourself if to clone the repo and run the script. There are no requirements other than a modern version of Python 3 (tested with 3.8).

> git clone https://github.com/sesh/fitlek.git
> cd fitlek
> python3 fitlek.py --duration=30:00 --target-pace=04:00 --username="your-garmin-connect-username" --password="your-garmin-connect-password"

Running the above should result in a new workout that looks something like this:

Acknowledgements

• The login to Garmin Connect is heavily copied from petergardfjall/garminexport. There's lots of great work in that project, definitely worth checking out if you're interested in working with Garmin Connect.
• Some details about the Workouts format were taken from mgifos/quick-plan. If I'm inspired to work on this project more I expect it to start looking more like quick-plan.
