So I’ve been using an Echelon EX-3 and Zwift and wanted to switch to something more structured for workouts. Enter TrainerRoad. I currently have to build my TR workouts in Zwift due to something not working right now between my setup and TR (I have a ticket in).
Once I complete the workout in Zwift, it pulls into TR and I match it to my workout for the day that was set up.
My question is if the adaptive training is actually taking that workout in Zwift into consideration since I matched it up. It appears that it is since my progression numbers are changing? I’ve only done two workouts so I’m still new to this. Also, does it ever give you workouts that are just TOO hard? And if so, what happens? Lol
I didn’t think that TR let you export workouts to Zwift for copyright reasons. The simpler approach would be just to run TR and Zwift in parallel. Besides I think at the moment by matching the up TR counts the Zwift ride as a pass (or done) unless your survey says otherwise. Running TR in parallel will allow AT to do a more detailed analysis of your TR recorded run and give you better adaptions.
So my current ticket with TR is that sees my trainer, but the metrics freeze after about 10 seconds. It stills controls my trainer and everything, for example, it wanted me at 160w and put me there, but the screen read 48w. On completion, it just showed that 48w from when it “froze”. So I’m concerned that even if I run in parallel, my workout won’t be correct in TR. I would love to do just TR.
You probably already know this (I see your ticket comment), but just in case, this is what people are recommending you do. I like #2, but they all work.
