Hi - maybe someone has thought of this already - or maybe it even already exists - I have a suggestion for custom workouts; basically take a real life route (.gpx file) and turn it in to a custom workout so you can train for that specific route.

Anything like this out/in the pipeline?

Thanks

How would the route file translate into a workout?

You can do this using bestbikesplit and the workout creator! basically just input your rider+ bike data and search for the course on BBS. It’ll give you an option to download the file, which you can then click and drag to workout creator 🙂  
That being said, I know there was a podcast episode on why training with ‘course replica’ workouts isn’t a great idea. Personally i’m just doing it because there’s no race 😂

More or less covered as a non-direct solution here.
