Got promo to work.
First trainer session in 9 months today… Geiger with the added metric of heart rate (from my Apple Watch) to stare at. BlueHeart is a free app & actually works with watch & TrainerRoad.
Thanks @Nerd-With-A-Tan excellent work, I’ve been waiting 2 years for this.
Good question. I’d suggest TR developers survey riders to get their input. Zwift has this feature And its way more convenient and accurate than my Polar H7 heart monitor strap.
I would have hoped my weight could be synced via the health app. I update Garmin Express each week and other apps take it from that entry via the Health app
We are in 2021 y’all… I’m gonna have to use another third party app that has this feature to then upload it to strava then download it to Trainer Road, you’re requiring that your users become tech experts to use your app, and it’s a $20/mo subscription… If you can’t handle the strava import well, I will carefully consider becoming a paying user.
i don’t really understand why this isn’t integrated. I love using it with Peloton. The rate is close enough for me. I just end up tracking heart rate separately on my watch and let strava put it together. sub-optimal for sure.
Thanks, all! We’re looking into how difficult this would be with Apple’s most current settings, and then from there can have a better idea of where this feature implementation would fall in terms of resources/time allotment for our developers. Fingers crossed! I’ll keep you updated if this ends up on the immediate roadmap.
I’m new to the app and I love it so far. But the lack of support for the AppleWatch, that is a central piece of my training habits, after more than 2 years of request, is a huge turn off to me. I consider getting back to Zwift even though I feel the training programs are way better here.
It isn’t a perfect system, but I am using a free app called Heartcast on the watch and my iPhone to broadcast to TrainerRoad. Of course a fully integrated solution would be ideal but this works for now.
Yup. It’d be great if I could start and stop workouts with an Apple Watch as well as transmit heart rate. Don’t overthink it, transmission of heart rate data with a giant button or two is enough. Right now I have to lean forward and reach to my iPad, which can be difficult when my brain is starved of oxygen and I move with the subtlety of a drunk cat on ice.
