Hello, Can you create a workout based on a past, completed event of mine? If so, how do I do that? Thank you, Floyd ---

Hi. You can use the Workout Creator sw/download to manually create a workout/intervals. I have done it previously for an event I was doing. I would split your existing ride into intervals (climbs, descents, flats) and have these as interval blocks at your desired power. Ie IRL a 5min climb will probably have a varied power, but use the avg power for the 5 mins as an interval block. ---

You could analyze the event yourself and break up the hard efforts into intervals, shouldn’t be too hard to replicate a similar effort depending on the length. Once you have that mapped out, there’s lots of online tools like TrainerRoads workout builder app or pro tip… use ChatGpt to build a .fit file for you and upload it to TrainerRoad. ---

You could use [this tool](https://whatsonzwift.com/gpx-to-zwift-workout) to convert at GPX to ZWO and then [this one](https://whatsonzwift.com/convert/workouts) to go from ZWO to ERG or MRC. I _think_ TR can import those file types. ---

Depends on what you want to do. A workout is different than a simulation. A simulation adjusts resistance based on terrain that was encountered during the ride and you shift as you would during that actual ride. A workout is a series of intervals (power, rpe, etc), which don’t normally correspond to a real ride. So, you can ride a simulation, or a workout that has intervals that roughly correspond to what the real ride demands. TR doesn’t do simulations, per se. TR is workouts. You can do simulations using a Garmin Edge cycling computer or other platforms like Rouvy.
