Hi,
New to trainer road. I tried both recording through my Mac and on the Garmin and having the data pushed to the respective platform. What am I missing if I just record it through Garmin?
Nothing
Hey @HQDUONG8 
If you haven’t completed 10 TR Indoor Workouts, then you’d be missing out on AI FTP Detection. After those 10 indoor workouts you can complete your workouts wherever… but, is there a reason why you’d record your indoor TR workouts on Garmin instead of the TR app?
It may just be easier to complete them on the TR app and have them sync to Garmin automatically, instead of having to set all your TR workouts to Outside so you can match them with the Garmin ride file…

Thank you! I just like my Garmin data to be more consistent like my total minutes worked out and etc. it’s my one source of truth and makes it easier
My Garmin and TR accounts are not linked. I dual record; my phone runs TR, my Garmin just runs. I’m not sure if that is what you mean.
I dual record for the Garmin metrics and challenges. I know that’s silly to some, but the challenges and leveling up are motivators for me.

I’m like you (and @Pbase ) where I dual record everything - I don’t link any of my accounts anywhere, and I prefer to use my headunit for uploading to TrainingPeaks. But when I use TrainerRoad, I also have it recorded there directly. I don’t do the Garmin metrics/challenges/whatever, though.
