When you get started, you’re given three different ways to train indoors with power. While each one differs from the next, they each give you the benefits of training with power<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 even if you don\u2019t own a smart trainer or power meter.<\/p>\n There are hundreds<\/em> of options available to choose between power meters, indoor trainers, speed sensors and smart trainers. To help simplify things, we took a look at the most popular training setups from TrainerRoad athletes. Priced from low to high, here are three specific training setups TrainerRoad athletes love.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This first setup gives you the benefits of power-based training without a power meter. It\u2019s called VirtualPower\u00ae<\/a>, and it uses the data from a speed sensor to turn your speed into watts while you train. If you already have a trainer \u2014 Kinetic\u2019s Road Machine is a huge hit with our TR athletes \u2014 you\u2019re already halfway there! All you need is a reliable speed sensor to start training with power.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This second setup is an indoor training classic: using a power meter with your indoor trainer. Stages Power Meters are\u00a0a popular choice, likely because they are easy to set up, work on a wide range of bikes and tracks and broadcast power consistently and accurately in both Bluetooth Smart and ANT+.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This final setup is one of the most common choices we see from TrainerRoad athletes. The Wahoo KICKR is an indoor training favorite, and when it\u2019s paired with training software like TrainerRoad, the KICKR becomes the ultimate training machine by controlling your workout resistance for a whole new training experience.<\/p>\n These are just three of the most popular indoor training setups we see among TrainerRoad athletes. There are hundreds of compatible training devices that work with TrainerRoad that let you train with power. Your indoor-training setup is easy to customize based off the devices you own, your training goals and how much you\u2019re willing to spend.<\/p>\n Want to check if TrainerRoad supports the equipment you already own?\u00a0Visit the equipment checker <\/a>to verify your training setup so you can start training with power with TrainerRoad.<\/p>\n For cycling training knowledge, listen to Ask a Cycling Coach \u2014 the only podcast dedicated to making you a faster cyclist.\u00a0<\/a>New episodes are\u00a0released weekly.
