TR workouts coming to the Hammerhead Karoo?

yes sideload

woah… :exploding_head:

It’s side loaded, so it’s basically running the TR app on the HH2 … so if you use it outside, you won’t get the GP’s upload, speed e.t.c that you get from using the Ride APP … because thats a different App, so it’s not the same as doing a workout on the HH2 (as that’s part of the ride app), details

Well i’m sold

Can you pair sensors with ANT+ in the app? If so…that would free up some much needed BT connections…

yes you can

I have a workaround for this. It’s not the slickest, but once you’ve gone through the steps, you end up with your TR workout exported to your HHK2, fully integrated for outdoor workouts, and no extra cost. See my post here for details: https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/community/posts/360039333614/comments/1260802782330

In short, manually recreate your TR workout in a free TrainerDay account, then push that to a free TP account, and it’ll them appear on your HH.

I too am looking forward to the day we can export straight from TP to HH, but for the time being, this works.

I am just wondering if there is any update to this since my Karoo 2 is getting delivered today. For now when I want to do TR workouts outside I am planning on building the TR workout in TrainingPeaks just using the free account and using the workout builder they have. This is a bit of a pain because it only lets you do for the current day or the next day and you can’t say the workout to use again in the future. Here is for hoping outdoor workouts for Hammerheads are coming sometime soon…

It is a real shame that this has not been progressed at all, the Karoo 2 is now an impressive device and as far as I can tell it is gaining market share.

Any updates on this? I am looking to pick one up so hopefully by next spring outdoor workouts will be up and running.

Can you not run the TR app and the “ride” app at the same time on the karoo?

Has anyone tried side-loading the wahoo training app on the karoo - if so does the gps work with that? I’m wondering if hammerhead locked down the gps so it can only be accessed from their own app.

No new information for this item on the roadmap, unfortunately. Thanks for your patience.

Just picked up one of these bad boys and gotta say my number 1 Christmas wish is to get outside workouts. I know Alex Wild said he uses a Karoo, plus I know there’s got to be a handful of us normal TR users out there on them.

I moved your post into the existing feature request for the Karoo.

Karoo lets you import FIT or ZWO format files via their dashboard with the latest release.

It’s a minor pain but it’s really not that hard to use something like https://zwofactory.com/ to recreate a TR workout.

thanks I was just reading todays HH release - this will work! I mostly just do long rides outside, but when I want to do a workout I can just use this.

I am a Karoo owner and I have recently signed up for trainerroad to follow the training plans. I like the flexibility of working out it indoor and outdoor but I just realized with the hammerhead dashboard you cannot sync with trainerroad calendar! My intention is to be able to work out in the park and see the power target while I’m riding. I cannot believe this does not exist.

I was, however, able to sideload the trainerroad app on karoo and choose indoor training while I am outside to see the intervals and target power but of course, this way I won’t be able to see my speed, segments and etc.
I like trainerroad training plans but now I think if I cannot make good use of $20 monthly payment I might decide to not continue with the subscription.

I think it was mentioned before but you can always use the workaround - TrainerDay (has many of the TR workouts copied) and send it to a free TrainingPeaks account. This you can sync to your Karoo. I’ve tested to see if this works and it works just the way I expected a TR integration should look like. :grinning: Given the marketing offensive of Hammerhead (they‘re all over print and social media, teaming up with Legion, Israel Start Up Nation etc.) and the fact that the units are very good, they‘ll probably increase their market share in the near future and hopefully the integration of TR to Karoo will move a bit higher on TRs roadmap (and we won’t have to send copyright infringed workouts over accounts in 3rd party apps we won‘t use otherwise).:crossed_fingers:

similar comment as @miro.rides.bikes

I have a HH and if I was going to do outdoor workout (I don’t find that I often do - I’ll do a work out similar due to outdoor challenges, IE hills, stoplights, traffic) but if I was going to match a workout 100%

i would use @guyc tip above

Still no TR workouts on the Hammerhead, but some progress, perhaps.
From today’s Karoo Software Release Notes:

We’ve added the data field for Workout Target Power. If you follow power-based structured workouts, you can now use this field to view the interval’s current target power. We’ve also added the data field for Last Lap Time.

** Note: We are building more Workout data fields and will release them soon. The workout control page will still be automatically added to your ride when you follow a workout on Karoo.*
