Ahhhā¦now itās working. Didnāt realize my Elemnt app hadnāt updated yet
Can I do the workout inside on my Elemnt/trainer even though I marked it as outside in TR? Anything TR is needing that requires the ride to be outdoors?
Iām having the same question, as it could be sometimes really easy to just have my ELEMNT and nothing else when training. In theory, the head unit could control ERG mode, right?
Yup.
Interesting, Iāve updated my app and Bolt, authorised TrainerRoad but no workouts are synchronising.
Itās possible that there may be some back end work on TRās part to finish the setup.
Yeah thought that might be the case. Iām on recovery week so perfect time to test though ![]()
I just got the updated Elemnt app on my S9 Android phone. Connection to TR was easy.
No access to my Bolt to test, but I will try it tonight when I get home.
Showed up on my bolt with app update, bolt firmware update, authorizing TR, and go to workouts/planned workouts, after clicking outdoor ride in your calendar on the TR webpage.
I am in the middle of my workday and already did an indoor session today. Canāt wait to try it later this week!
Official Info:
This is a very unofficial guide to Wahoo setup in the current absence of an official guide from TR. I will update as I can and likely redirect to the better TR resource once it is available.
-
Make certain you have the latest version of the Wahoo Elemnt app loaded on your mobile device.
-
Make certain you have the latest firmware on your Wahoo Elemnt head unit.
-
Open the āWahoo Elemntā app on your mobile device.
-
Open your āProfileā.
-
Scroll down and open either:
- āConnected appsā (Android)
- āAuthorized appsā (Apple)
-
Find and open the āTrainerRoadā option.
-
Complete the user login and authorization.
-
Open your TrainerRoad Calendar and open a workout for today.
-
Select āOutsideā for the workout and save.
-
Start your Element head unit and ???
Ok, I had no workouts set to be performed outside which is why it wasnāt working for me.
Yeah, you have to have a workout loaded on the calendar, and selected as āOutsideā for it to work.
Yeah realised that thanks to @llmonty instructions. Will be trying it out tomorrow evening!
It has arrived!
TrainerRoad late 2019 is a much different looking beast to early 2018 ![]()
Excellent work guys, canāt wait to see what you do with another 12 to 24 months!
Can we push āinsideā workout to Wahoo head unit ?
Or itās only outside workouts that are pushed to the head unit ?
I hope we can push both ! For now nothing is syncing, maybe it needs some time !
Thank you
@Nate_Pearson +1 inside workouts sync
Often the outside workout is the same as that scheduled for inside so theoretically that could be done.
For sure theoretically, but the wahoo warning only appears when workout is marked as outside !


Yeah ā letās call it a hack/workaround. If you want to do Andrews +1 on the road (or inside, with your Wahoo) set it to āOutsideā.
Has anyone actually run one of these āOustideā workouts while inside and gotten direct ERG control of their trainer as a result? That is the real question to me, if it will actually set the power targets like the main TR app does.
