Hi Everyone, I recently tried a Zwift event and actually found it quite fun. However, I don’t want to commit to a Zwift subscription as I find the races may interfere with the quality of my TR workouts. I was curious to know how some of you implement Zwift races into your TR plans and found that so…

I think this will probably work for you, but if you’re actually serious about racing then one problem you’ll have with this approach is that it will take forever for you to advance through the levels and to build up enough drops to buy faster bikes and wheels. Not going to debate the gamification as…

[image] ssphillips: Actually buying in to a Zwift account and running both TR and Zwift concurrently during your TR workouts is a really fast and easy way to advance in the game. Totally, I started doing that in April, and I just clicked over to level 32 a couple days ago.

Same here. I need the distraction from TR boredom.

Can I ask how you run your connections on both applications? I have a smart trainer and would like to run TR alongside Zwift using an ipad for Zwift and Samsund S20+ for TR? Would it be a case of pairing my trainer to Zwift via ipad and the smart trainer speed sensor alone, then pair smart trainer …

As a general rule of thumb, when doing dual-recording (Zwift & TrainerRoad), whereby TrainerRoad is your structured workout that it’s controlling, you want to: A) Always pair the smart trainer to TrainerRoad as FTMS/FE-C, ideally as ANT+ if you can (since it leaves open another channel). Then pair …

I just want to echo that I also had an event that was longer than 25km. I actually had ridden some of the free 25km before the race and when the 25km was up I was prompted of I wanted to continue, right during the race. This was a bit frustrating since my computer is not close enough for me to press…

I use 2 USB Ant+ sensors with my PC. I run TrainerRoad first, then Zwift where the smart trainer is not being controlled by Zwift.

Is that true, that every calendar month Zwift lets non-subscribers have a free 25km trial? (which you can do 25x1km rides, or you could do a ride that is longer than 25km if it’s all one ride?). I thought it was a one time 25km free deal, and to reset to get another 25km, you’d either have to join …

Funny I always pair to Zwift first via ANT+ and then to TR second via BT when I have TR control my workouts. Hasn’t missed a beat yet
