Help fix in-ride text typos; post them here šŸ‘‡

twin peaks -2
during first set it said 1 minute left (2 remaining intervals), this flagged at 1 minute 30 seconds left (3 remaining intervals).

on a side note to this, I always thought that the discrepancies may relate to original workouts being cut shorter to fit the time frame selected by some automated algorithm, is that not correct? if not I’ll remember to flag more as I’ve seen a few.

Weird bug / workout description typo.

I replaced ā€œRobionā€ with ā€œHang Shenā€ and in my career tab, it looks like the workout levels have not changed to the easier workout. I originally thought it was description typo, because it was describing it as 96-117% but the interval went up to 122%. Loading from the career tab results in the robion-difficulty percentages.

Pulling up Hang Shen from the workout library, the workout percentages load properly and display accurately.

Please report to support@trainerroad.com, this is the spot to post typos in the in-ride text or workout descriptions, but your example could be an AT bug for the team to look into.

Thanks!

Oops! Will do :slight_smile: wasn’t sure if it was a bug or description typo.

Gendarme +2 at 35 minutes: ā€œAgain, the recommended cadences is above 100rpmā€¦ā€ (I would remove the ā€œsā€ at the end of ā€œcadencesā€.)

Townsend about 19-20min there was a line about anaerobic vs aerobic power systems where ā€œthatā€ was used instead of ā€œthanā€. Super vague, but forgot to make note while riding.

Taylor, about 20 minutes in, at the end of the first set, the text is off by one. It says only 2 more but there are really 3 more. Only 1 more, but there are really two more. Now you can rest, but there’s really one more set.

This is not exactly a typo, but Tehipite and Bowen are the same workout.

In the Description of ā€œMonoā€, it reads:

ā€œThe 4 over-unders are sandwiched by 2x20-minute stretched of aerobic Endurance intervals spent at 65% FTP.ā€

It should read stretches (not stretched)

Jepson -5 twice mentions ā€œsmart trainer ergo modeā€

This really should be ā€œerg modeā€ unless the smart trainer in question is really very, very smart, has become self-aware and understands the phrase ā€œCogito ergo sumā€

If you don’t hear from me again I’ll have been silenced by a rogue AI, or the Turing police, or the Latin police.

TrainerRoad constantly makes an error with the phrase ā€œless wattsā€. This applies to TrainerRoad workout texts, the podcast, emails, etc. (But it’s also an error you see every day elsewhere. It’s a common error seen in English)

Incorrect: ā€œTo recover, put out less watts.ā€
Correct: ā€œTo recover, put out fewer watts.ā€
Correct: ā€œTo recover, put out less power.ā€

ā€œPowerā€ is a noncount noun, and a ā€œwattā€ is a count noun. Less is used with noncount nouns, fewer with count nouns. More works with both.

A ā€œcount nounā€ is a noun that can be counted (ie. with a number). It can also be singular or plural, and it can be used with a singular or plural verb. A ā€œnoncount nounā€ cannot be counted, cannot be plural, and cannot be used with a plural verb. (source: Britannica)

Things you can count, like chairs, are count nouns.
ā€œI have three chairs, you have four chairs. I have fewer chairs.ā€

Things you can’t count, like furniture, are noncount nouns (You can’t say ā€œI have three furnitures.ā€)
ā€œI have have three chairs, you have four chairs. I have less furniture.ā€

I loaded up the Abney workout earlier and the first sentence was ā€˜welcome to Peavine’. Must have been renamed?

Vanesa (VO2 max 5.5) pushed a workout named Gawler -4 to my head unit today. They look similar and I think the steps were right for Vanesa.

Whoa weird, looking into this. Thank you!

Not sure whether these descriptions are correct: Had Pecos and upgraded to Scarr today. Both are Sweetspot and based in 4x11mins a=44mins at SS. but the text says

ā€œScarr totals just under 60 minutes of Tempo intervals spent between 84-89% FTP with intermittent, 4-minute recoveries at 55% FTP.ā€

Socata is similar. 44 mins, but says just under 60min.

Thank goodness someone else notices this.

I wish there was some place we could see the text outside of a ride. I keep seeing something but by the time I’m off the bike my age challenged brain has forgotten what it exactly was and I’m not quick enough to screen shot it. I realise IP issues would probably prevent you making the text public though.

Saddle Mountain - Goals are missing, just copy/paste of the description.
