Group Workout Room Code Sharing

North Pack

Thursday, November 5, 2020 at 0600 am CST

I’m doing Glassy in 45mins anyone welcome. It’s a 80min sweetspot workout.

Start at 7:45pm GMT

Code is: bewwst

All scheduled for 5:30 AM EST and all added to the calendar

17-Nov - Tioga - RSVP - TrainerRoad
20-Nov - Lion Rock - RSVP - TrainerRoad
24-Nov - McAdie - RSVP - TrainerRoad
27-Nov - The Chimneys +2 - RSVP - TrainerRoad

These next three are a progression to build me up towards a polarized block - pretty challenging final workout so recommend joining for all three if you want to get towards that finishing point

8-Dec - Ainslie +7 - RSVP - TrainerRoad
15-Dec - Mansfield +3 - RSVP - TrainerRoad
22-Dec - Washington +6 - RSVP - TrainerRoad

Anyone up for some VO2 intervals tomorrow at 6am CST?

Is it me or has this pretty much totally died? I am planning on Marcus Baker -2 at 9:45am MST 11/9 but it hardly seems worth putting on the group calendar.

Yeah it’s hard to gauge exactly what TrainerRoad is planning with Group Workouts, having to advertise codes in here and on a Google calendar doesn’t seem to fit with the usual ethos.

@Nate_Pearson @IvyAudrain can you add anything to this please?

I’ll be up for this one, I’m on lates so that’ll be mid morning for me in the UK so perfect. 99% I’ll be there

There’s a large plan. We launched this very early due to covid, it was supposed to come out next year on all platforms at once with an easier way to join/find workouts.

We really like the concept and get good feedback about it but we need to put it on mobile and make it easier to find/join workouts. So that’s the plan.

Looking forward to the mobile access.

Thanks @Nate_Pearson appreciate the update

  • Workout Name: Ramp Test
  • Date: November 16, 2020 (UK)

It is now snowing outside. Time to set the trainer up. Anybody interested in doing a ramp test November 12th (Thursday) at 3 pm East Coast Time? If so, here is the code: w9qnxv. And the link:

I’ll be doing Matthes tonight at 8pm CDT if anyone is interested.

I was thinking about group workouts this morning… Somewhat related, does TR currently offer ā€œgroup membershipā€ or ā€œclub membershipā€.

My Triathlon club currently run Zoom based Turbo Sessions where one person is responsible for telling everyone else what is coming up. However, if we could all be in a TR Group Workout Room then the need for this would be removed, allowing everyone to know what was coming when etc.

I can imagine that this kind of membership option would be really popular with other cycling clubs / teams that run turbo sessions online during the winter / COVID.

Some over/unders early tomorrow morning! Meteorite +1 5:45AM MST

Lots of inside riding this week due to weather and schedule. Lots of Z2 work.

Tuesday: Ochoco, 11:00a MST

Thursday: Baxter -1 6:00a MST

Friday: Gibbs +1 6:00a MST

Disaster Saturday!!

Ever thought of a server browser of sorts for group workouts? I have always been meaning to try them, but I can’t just open TR and join one, so when I need a little extra social motivation, I think it’s easier to just join whatever the next Zwift group ride is.

TR has promised something better than the current hacks that we are using. They released GW well ahead of their prior planned schedule, in order to help with the lockdowns around the world from earlier this year. It was released as a Minimum Viable Product that gave us the function, but lacked all that they plan to offer down the line. So we have to make this work until they release the official tools.

SS on this lovely Sunday morning: Galena +3 starting at 9am CET

Tuesday Over/Unders are Fairweather +2, 9am MST

Wednesday recovery Collins -1 9am MST

Thursday SS Marcus Baker -1 8am MST
