Wondering if there is any way to run a TR workout in erg mode from a newer garmin head unit? I currently have the edge 530 and a kickr trainer. All I am able to do is run the workouts as an outside ride which doesn’t allow the head unit to control the trainer using erg mode.

Currently, I am using today’s plan because I am able to run the workouts in my training schedule from my garmin head unit and directly control the trainer. However, I prefer trainerroad to todays plan so was hoping that this feature could be added.

Has anybody found a workaround for this?

Then select ‘indoor trainer’ from the ‘training’ section on your Garmin head unit. Select 'follow a workout. Then pick…
