TrainerRoad Outside Workouts Now Push to Garmin Edge 🎉

[IvyAudrain]

Hey! I’ll reiterate this feature request to the team (see also: Feature request: stop auto associating workouts to outdoor rides), but there’s no update on this feature request at this time.

I want to make sure you saw this workaround for your commute + workout conflict as well from that thread.

You’ll still want to have your rides scheduled for indoors, but you’ll also want to schedule ‘other’ bike activities for the days you do commutes. you can set this as a recurring activity if you consistently do the commutes, or you’ll need to add them on the days you do commutes before you actually do the commute. So you’ll have an “other” bike activity scheduled and you’ll also have an indoor workout scheduled.
After the commute is completed, it’ll sync into TR and auto associate with the planned “other” bike activity.
At that point, you can then switch the indoor workout to outside. Once the outside workout is complete, it should sync and auto associate to the planned outside workout.

Perhaps not the simplest solution for now, but I will be sure to pass this feedback along to the team again for consideration.

I would like to see the % in addition to the actual watts in the description. I might be a single case here, but for my training log I would like to record if the wo was 100% FTP, 105% FTP etc.

I want to better understand the type of past-ride view you’re looking for here so I can more effectively communicate this as a feature request to the team (or direct you to a resource we have in place that may already do this!).
Are you just referring to post-workout view of what was assigned in terms of intensity? Or are you referring to a view of what was actually completed in your workout (ie 100% FTP was assigned but you rode at 106%).
Let me know!

Thanks for the reply Ivy. I’ve seen the suggested workaround, and it’s a bit of a hassle. I frequently wait until I’m about to do the outside wo before I switch to outside. But yesterday it even git associated with my morning commute that was done before I changed. And actually yesterday “life happened” so I couldn’t do my wo. Because of the association my VO2 PL increased without me actually doing the work. Not on a plan right now so not a big deal, but it is very annoying. One of my favorite features with TR is the flexibility (moving in calendar, alternates!, etc.), but this is really a bug I think needs solving.

In regards to the other point I might be the only one wanting this, but I’ll try to explain. For sake of example I just picked a random wo from Train Now: Izaak Walten -4. When changing to “outside” I get the following description:

I know the wattages are based on my FTP, but I have to go back to the inside wo to see what % the values actually are. Since this text is personal there must be a % in the background, it’s just not displayed visually. Some quick Paint-skillz to show what I would like to see:

There is also the issue that when looking at the ride there is no direct link to the source wo. I checked both web and mobile (Android). It states which wo it’s associated with, but I cannot click on this. So after my ride I need to search the wo name, go into the “inside” description and read what the intervals are. Then re-name.

So ideally I would like to open the ride in the calendar, click on the associated ride, and then get the description. And both before and after the ride I would like to see the % in addition to the actual wattage as shown with my magic Paint skillz
