I follow my own training plan based on training peaks optimised intervals from WKO. Typically this will involve pick and mix selection of existing trainer road workouts, perhaps altering the workout intensity to match my needs or occasionally creating my own in workout creator. I usually workout in…

We have plans to entirely revamp our Workout Creator, but that falls after a few other projects that are a higher priority. For now, if you can use the Windows app you can use the “M” key to toggle trainer modes. On Mac, there should be a dropdown where you can select Slope mode. Otherwise, on the m…

I have recently switched from a dumb trainer to a smart trainer, an Elite Suito. After trying out all modes, I found out I prefer erg mode for Z2 workouts, warmups and rest intervals, but anything at or above sweet spot I prefer resistance mode. Switching back and forth on my iPad, especially in an…

I believe the desktop app allows switching with a single hotkey. I use my phone and wouldn’t use the feature personally. I use erg for everything including sprints. Tacx Neo.

So ERG mode is great for longer steady intervals AND standard mode is better for short high intensity bursts… Just wondering if it’s possible to code mode switches into a workout? Maybe call it “dynamic” or “hybrid” mode? This would be great for workouts like “The Chimneys” where there’s a fun mix o…

I merged your post with the existing one aiming for the same feature request.

The unfortunate answer is not at the moment. It’s possible to do this - TR does this in their FTP tests - but TR hasn’t exposed this functionality to the very old Workout Creator. I’ve tried editing a TR FTP test to see if I could create a workout that auto-switches - TR support thought this would w…

Alternatively they could make more switching very fast and easy on the mobile apps. I would think that’s a much smaller project than redoing workout builder. Something like one tap to show the modes and another to both select the mode and close the mode picker. I know it’s not the same thing as doi…

Its frustrated me for a while that is so difficult to switch between Erg and Resistance in TR, which is the main reason I use the TrainerDay app for short V02 work, rather than have a drop down for “modes” they just have a couple of buttons on the screen, one for Resistance one for ERG

Since it has been mentioned a couple of times, here is the existing feature request to make trainer mode switching easier on Mobile: ERG Mode On or Off Button Please, Mobile App (Feature Request) Please add any related requests of mode swaps for mobile under that thread, since this topic is abou…
