Holy crap congrats! Was this an individual time trial or was this a straight up road race?
Did a 10 (12) min Effort yesterday, now i saw the my Cadance was very high and i do wonder if i am faster in the 85 RPM range. I guess i have to try it out.
After that the Rain came, so i went inside⌠for another 40 min Sweetspot riding it did feel really hard to be honest. ohh yeah if you wonder the drop in Power in the middle is the roundabout where i have to change direction. The rest is flat and almost straight.
First week into Specialty, didnât feel great coming in but first 3 sessions are showing good signs for all time power curveâŚ
Ramp Test w/ FTP up from 301 to 306W
Planned a 60s effort as part of aerobic ride but ran out of hill, 45s PR 715W and still managed to PR 60s rolling over the top, more in the tank
First of the extended threshold workouts for 40kTT specialty
7 weeks to fill in the rest of the power curveâŚ
three flats in three days, the PR I didnât want to hit. 2 in a row is more than enough! LOL
It was an ITT, theyâre playing it safe (rightly so) as far as local racing is concerned. Event was quite small, as they generally are here, with only 25 racers in total showing up. I had actually considered signing up for Cat4, but having never raced before I signed up for lowest category. I had a chat with race organizers after (provincial cycling organization), and they said if this was a road race/crit, theyâd want first timers to sign up for Cat5 due to lack of skill. But as theyâre only running ITT for now, theyâd prefer I upgrade for next week.
Great work
Newbie question: what are these and how are they used?
If I click on them, they take me to the power curve for that workout. But I canât see anything special or anything highlighted, and clicking them again gives me nothing more.
PBâd the club time trial uphill finish tonight but after a cr@p start and not being able to feel the bottom of the stroke (nerves damage from chemo) I was 10s down on my overall pb of last week
This week I was pleasantly surprised by a PR on a segment that seems to be my go-to for testing my fitness. My first time on this segment in February was 2:07 slower than now. Making quite a bit of progress this year so far.
Haha, this gets brought up all the time! I donât know, itâs just one of those things that for a company that is super responsive, input seeking and forward looking, they just donât seem to prioritize this feature.
There are several threads that discuss it and I will link them below. But basically, you are correct. You set a PR of some sort for the season you see listed next to the trophy. So for that workout you hit 44 all time PRâs and for 2020 Vision you hit 150 PRâs. Thatâs awesome, congrats!
Unfortunately which PRâs, yeah thatâs where the analysis is lacking. You have to walk your mouse along your PR curve and whenever you see what appears to be the two lines on top of each other, youâve probably hit a PR.
This has been an open feature request forever so I donât have high hopes for it getting improved anytime soon.
Looks like those PRs are for 2020, so his all times are higher. Very impressive!
TR reckons I got 40 of them (2020 records anyway) tonight on Monitor +1 it looks like most intervals over 45mins to a hour was a record. It might have been helped that during the warm up I played around with my cleat position (fore/aft). After the session though I think I put in back to just a about where I started
Had a surprise sprint PR on the MTB today even though Iâm still decidedly not a sprinter
Great numbers considering there is a little more give on the MTB than a road bike, even if fully locked out. I will take 100 watts year over year from here and we have fairly similar numbers. I wonât ever be an 1,800 guy but I guess not many are. 1,200+ is still enough to do some damage!
Thanks for the insight. Yes, considering that this is a pretty small project from a programming perspective but seems REALLY useful to many users, Iâm surprised they havenât dealt with it. Personally, I think if you click on those, they should bring up a list of the PRâs you got, like the âAll-Time PRâsâ list you can get from within the power curve.
Iâd also suggest a couple of (I think) simple improvements for the âpast recordsâ power curve, or any power curve:
-
In the âseasonsâ dropdown, add a choice for âAll Except Todayâ. When we get a PR, itâd be great to see the ânext-bestâ ride instead of just seeing this ride listed twice, which adds zero value.
-
A set of checkboxes that lets me toggle whether or not to display TR workouts, outside rides, and ramp tests.
@Bryce, what do you think? Are those easy/hard to implement? Likely to be implemented soon/someday/ever?
TTE FTP test: brand new all-time 10-60min power PRs. And 20min HR PR.
It would be handy to see that on the curve itself looking at a single ride but just in case you didnât know, if you go to Personal Records in Career, you can click a specific time period on the curve and click view more details to see the history of records at that time like below. Took me a long time to stumble on it but find it really useful, not sure if it also works when looking at the curve in a single ride too.
Hey there!
Thanks for taking the time to share your suggestions. Sadly Iâm really not in a position to estimate likelihood of a feature being implemented. When we recieve feature requests, our Product Managers prioritize based on the development effort required relative to the total positive impact that a change would make.
Since I am not a software engineer myself, I cannot estimate the difficulty of making a particular change within our system. What I can say, is that all of our engineers are working full speed ahead on a variety of projects that will have major impacts and will bring TrainerRoad to the next level.
I will certainly pass your suggestion onto the team for future consideration, but I wouldnât estimate that this will be worked on in the short-term due to the major priorities the team is focused on at the moment.
Iâm sorry I donât have anything more concrete for you, but again, we really appreciate the requests. With athletes like ours, weâre truly never short on good ideas .
Point taken, and thanks. As a suggestion, Adobe had a HUGELY successful initiative a couple of years ago which they called their âJDI intervalsâ, or something like that. The point was to take a month off from the major development initiatives, and focus that month (or however long it was) on the myriad of user-requested improvements and fixes that could be done easily and quickly â hence the âJust Do Itâ name. Customer satisfaction went through the roof.
Just a thought, since TR is doing great things in many ways, but there seem to be quite a few little niggles floating around that, if nicely polished, would go a ways toward making the daily user experience even better.
P.S. To stay on-topic, went out for a hard 45-minute ride yesterday and set new PRâs from 16min through about 26min, anywhere between 5W and 8W better than before. Roughly a 6% improvement on average.
