My outdoor ride duration is displayed shorter than expected in TrainerRoad.
I record my rides using a Garmin (Forerunner 955), and the data is synced to TrainerRoad and Intervals.icu.
The attached data is from yesterday’s outdoor ride.
In Garmin, the ride time was 5:23, and the total elapsed time including stops and traffic lights was 6:03. However, in TrainerRoad, the duration is shown as 4:44.
When I look at the power zone distribution, Zone 1 (including 0W) was only about 12 minutes. Even if that entire 12 minutes were excluded, the difference in ride time still does not make sense.
As I mentioned in my original post, in Garmin the ride time was 5:23, and the total elapsed time including stops and traffic lights was 6:03.I am attaching the Intervals.icu data as well. I took a 15-minute break at the midpoint of the ride, and the rest of the stopped time was due to traffic lights.The 5:23 represents the ride time excluding those stops, and 6:03 includes them.In other words, even after subtracting all stops and breaks, the duration should still be 5:23 — so it still does not explain why TrainerRoad is showing 4:44.
In the Intervals.icu data synced from Garmin, the blacked-out sections mark the point where I took a break, and there were also occasional stops for traffic lights elsewhere along the route.
In the Garmin data, the elapsed time from start to finish is about 5:39, and the moving/ride time is about 5:05—so those two values are consistent. However, the data shown in TrainerRoad is not consistent with that.
That’s just how Intervals.icu displays it. The x-axis is time, and there’s no data recorded while I’m stopped, so the points right before and after the stop get connected with a straight line.
