Can I use TR without indoor trainer?

Hi

can I use TR and ALL features (ai ftp, red/green…) without indoor trainer and with 100% outdoor riding?

Sure…however, any rides that are not Outdoor Workouts will not impact your Progression Levels. But everything else (AIFTP, RLGL, etc) will take those rides into account.

Hey @blind76,

Yes, you can use TR exclusively outside!

You can build out a training plan with Plan Builder and set your workouts to Outside which you can push to your head unit. For more on this check out the support article below.

As of now, you won’t be able to use AI FTP Detection though because that requires 10 inside TR workouts to calibrate properly.

You can still check your FTP with a 20-minute test outside though!

Let me know if you have other questions!

Dang…forgot the 10 inside rides requirement for AIFTP. :man_shrugging:t2:

So after these 10 rides AI will work fully functional without riding indoors or I will need to repeat indoor rides from time to time?

Once you’ve gotten those 10 indoor TR rides in, you’ll be able to use AI FTP Detection moving forward.

Depending on what your outside training activity looks like, a quick test now and then could help to keep things on track long-term, but if you’re following a plan and giving the software good feedback you shouldn’t have any issues. :+1:

I only say this because I’ve seen athletes with really erratic training and long periods of time away from the bike suggest that AI FTP Detection surprised them with its results, but in reality, they weren’t giving it good data to use. :robot:

If you’re planning to train regularly AIFTPD is the way to go 100%.
