Just don’t tell anyone its based on an FTP of 50w 
As a reminder to everyone on this thread: Please keep Constructive Contribution in mind as one of our Community Guidelines when criticizing each other about their privacy concerns.
Engaging in constructive debate about the feature itself is cool, as is constructive criticism of TrainerRoad, but back-and-forth dialogue like this usually doesn’t lead to more shared understanding, rather, just results in a diminished forum climate.
Thanks for being cool moving forward, all.

Except they could have been doing tons of sprint work outside and this wouldn’t even come close to representing their actual capabilities. You would be pretty foolish to base your race tactics on this alone.

This isn’t really meaningful since they change with FTP

We each use these tools in different ways. None of them are wrong. I generally ride on Zwift with TR controlling a workout. I end up sharing the Zwift activity on Strava most of the time because it has a map.
I never said I needed to use Strava. For me, I use it to see what cool adventures my friends are doing. Maybe that’s a ride or workout I should do some day.
The workout profile of a workout communicates pretty effectively what I’m working on. The progression levels are disconnected from the day to day riding. It’s a long term view of your training plan and progression. It’s also a lot of information for a Strava graphic. The PL system is new and doesn’t make sense to most people I have personally talked to.
I like that TR has tried to show off the AT features with PLs through Strava. I just don’t think this implementation is very good. I also don’t want to stop anyone from showing these off if that’s something they want to and are proud of.

I dig it. It’s another layer of friendly competition adding accountability and drive to my workouts
Following Nate’s link
seems to switch off Strava/TR integration all together. Not simply switch off the images. Setting TR disable in Strava gave the message “Your TrainerRoad integration has been disabled. Your last TrainerRoad activity was uploaded on 31 January 2022.”
Am I missing something? Or is the message simply ambiguous?
Swap the word “integration” for “marketing” and it makes more sense.
It does remove all the graphs from all the past activities too which I didn’t realize.
With “integrations” removed the ride still gets uploaded with the workout name but no picture.
Huge credit to you Nate for such a rapid response to this issue.
Every day is a learning day! Thanks for that
Just tuned into this change after a lot of summer outdoor riding rather than TR. Not a fan at all (way too look at me), and I’m very pleased that TR are looking to incorporate on/off switches for the PL’s showing or not.
In the meantime I’ll just turn off Partner Integration
Are their levels relative to an unpublished FTP also

Everyone I compete against knows my strengths and weaknesses anyway and being a TTer I only really compete against myself anyway. This whole thread makes me think of Catherine Tate

I was about to make the same point! I think people are overreacting a bit.

You don’t wrap your bike in eletrical tape so no one sees you advertise the brand bike you ride? Or do the burning man thing and cover it in mud

How do you ever beat them in mario cart if they see which character you pick and their skills? You have to cover up that part of the screen so they can’t see
