Dear Trainerroad, I hope this post will fall on attentive ears. I tried to think how to go about writing this and decided to just be blunt but with good intentions – You need to reinvent yourself and quickly or you will lose the market that you yourself invented and sooner than you think. You cou…

The power TR is gaining is found in the community of users it is developing as athletes. If it is doesn’t make you faster, then don’t do it. The podcast and forum are great tools and teaching platforms. The neatest thing about TR to date for me has been meeting Nate, Jonathon and Pete at the 24 H…

You could do the exact same thing with Trainerroad.

I am 3 weeks in to TrainerRoad after previously being an avid Zwifter due to not being able to race outside due to Having 2 kids under 2 now. I had every intention of making the most of the free trial and cancelling after 30 days but after a week I was hooked on TR. I previously did a lot of struct…

No, you can’t. If I fall off target, the target doesn’t change. And the post-ride stats will show that I failed to hit the targets. I can manually turn down the intensity, but most VO2max workouts have text that advises to limit reductions so you don’t turn the workout into something other than what…

I re-read your initial response to me and should have realized what I was walking into. My opinion remains that I think what Xert does with intervals would work well to help ensure a user’s workload remains on target and that it would motivate me to stay on target. Feel free to “always” turn worko…

I think the opposite is true. When you go easier, the intervals only gets longer - that would encourage people to try even harder.

[image] veitok: I think the opposite is true. When you go easier, the intervals only gets longer - that would encourage people to try even harder. That’s a sure-fire way of turning a VO2max workout into a threshold ride. Not what anybody wants.

I think the issue might be about trying to impart a certain amount of stress in a workout. I think the way Xert quantifies the amount of stress to complete an interval also considers workout fatigue. As the workout progresses, the body fatigues therefore an interval at the same intensity and durat…

I am using TrainingPeaks with my Coach where he sets my daily workout in their calendar, the cycling workouts syncronize on Zwift very easily and I have my workout in there. I could not care less about the fluffy part of Zwift, bonuses or levels, for the long aerobic rides (i.e: +3h) I would usuall…

This INSCYD software looks like it’s capable of generating a great rider profile from three trainer tests.

Seems like a good opportunity for TrainerRoad to partner with these guys!

The profile include:

VO2max
VLaMax
power at MLSS
CarbMax
FatMax

The three trainer tests are:

15 second all out seared Sprint
4 min over paced effort
20 min overpaced effort

More discussion on this in the following post.
