How to Follow Structured Workouts on DURA and DURA 2 SOLAR

DURA and DURA 2 SOLAR can guide you through structured bike workouts. These can be downloaded from the COROS app, synced from other platforms, or created from scratch in your COROS app.

Download Workouts

Workouts can be created, downloaded, or synced from other platforms.

Download free workouts: Open the COROS app, head to the Profile page, and tap Workout Library to explore free workouts built by athletes and COROS coaches.

Sync from third party apps: Connect TrainingPeaks or another supported platform to COROS, and your planned workouts will automatically appear on your training calendar.

Build your own: Follow the step-by-step guide below to create fully custom workouts from scratch.

Create a Workout

To create a bike workout, follow these steps:

  1. Open your COROS app to the Profile page.
  2. Select Workout Library, then tap the plus (+) icon in the top right corner.
  3. Choose Bike mode. Select "Add Exercise" to add a warm up, cool down, rest, interval, or other training. Each session can be customized to a specific target and intensity.
    • Target types: Time, Distance, Training Load, Open, or HR Recovery (for rest only)
    • Intensity types: % Max HR, % HR Reserve, % Threshold HR, Heart Rate, Speed, Power, Cadence, or Not set
  4. To rearrange the order of your workout, press and hold any session to drag and drop it somewhere else.
  5. Create a "set" by combining two sessions, such as an interval and a rest. To do so, press and hold one of the sessions, then drop it directly on top of another session. Once they're combined, you can then increase the number of repeats for that set.
  6. Swipe left across a session to delete it or duplicate it.
  7. When you're finished, tap the Save button in the top right corner. Choose "Send to device" to sync the new workout with DURA and save it to the Workouts menu on the device. Up to 100 workouts can be stored locally on DURA/DURA 2 SOLAR.

Follow a Workout

Once your workout is synced to DURA/DURA 2 SOLAR, follow these steps:

  1. Locate the workout.

    • If the workout was synced individually, scroll down to the Workouts menu from the home screen on DURA/DURA 2 SOLAR, and select it there.

    • If the workout is part of a training plan, first select your desired bike mode, and then you will be prompted to start the scheduled workout for today.

  2. Adjust the following workout settings as needed:

    • Scroll down to View to preview the workout details.

    • Go to Auto Advance to customize whether DURA progresses to the next phase of the workout automatically or manually.

      • When Auto Advance is set to OFF, each phase must be advanced manually by pressing the Lap button. The Lap button is the lower right button on DURA, and the left side button on DURA 2 SOLAR.

      • When Auto Advance is set to ON, each phase advances automatically. DURA will alert you when the current phase is about to end, and the workout is about to progress to the next phase.

    • Scroll down to Finish Pause to choose whether the workout should automatically pause when you complete its final stage, or if the activity should continue tracking after completing the final stage until you pause and finish it yourself.

  3. When you are ready, press Start to begin training. DURA will guide you through each phase of the workout.

While following a structured workout, you can scroll through your regular data pages to view an additional workout summary page that is included by default. The workout summary page includes a bar chart showing an overall view of what phase you currently are in and what's coming up.

  2. From the pause menu, select Workouts > View Workout.
  3. Choose any of the workout phases to jump to that phase.

Pause and Resume Workouts Mid-Ride

*This feature is only available on DURA 2 SOLAR.

You can pause a workout, continue tracking your activity, and resume the workout where you left off:

  1. During your ride, press the pause button (right side button).

  3. Your activity will continue tracking.
  4. When you're ready to resume your workout, press the pause button again, select Workouts, and choose "Resume Workout" to continue where you left off.
    • For example, if you had paused your workout at the 1 minute mark during a 5-minute interval, you will pick up the workout in the middle of the interval when you resume it again.
