Zwift Integration (Xert got there 2nd)

We just need a button “send to zwift” on the workout dialogue. No need to send the plan to zwift, just the workout prescribed by TR in the day

They’re working on it:

Strange since to use this platform we pay the double of Xert.

I suppose a downside of this integration for me would be the inability to run a TrainerRoad (TR) workout while participating in a Zwift event that isn’t compatible with Zwift workouts. Almost everything I do in Zwift is actually part of an ERG mode TR workout; I just happen to be progressing something in Zwift at the same time. With this integration, that might not be possible for certain events, right?

I’d assume you could do what you’re doing today AND/OR use the integration, so I don’t think you’ll be impacted.

No, just do what you do today….run TR through one connection (ANT+) and Zwift through another (BT) but don’t connect the trainer for resistance, just a power source.

Yeah, makes sense. I was just hoping things were going to get simplified… but there will still be cases where I need to keep doing what I do, thanks.

Maybe we get early access this week? :crossed_fingers:t3::crossed_fingers:t3:

I haven’t tried doing a workout in s group event but doing workouts natively in zwift will earn you route badges, drops, meter climbed and XP (even more than free riding would) and you get workout arches (which I really like because it almost seems like you can make the interval end sooner)

Really? I read the opposite in that one of the quirks of Zwift is that you actually earn XP and drops slower doing workouts than freeriding?

Admit I haven’t experimented myself.

Although I disagree with the place, imho the Alpe du Zwift is better than the climb portal because you can win much bigger bonuses with the wheel of fortune at the top of the AdZ

But XP doesn’t really matter after level 40 because after level 40 (which I haven’t reached yet) there is no better equipment available unless you want to flex with the most expensive but slowest bike in game which becomes available at level 44 (zwift safety bike and wheels 2.4 million drops iirc but I will definitely buy it and start riding around on it)

Confetti socks exist. :sunglasses:

Unless you’re a complete sociopath, riding around dishing out 2XP to all and sundry is rather nice.

Much more satisfying than unlocking a 1 second over 30 mimutes time advantage.

That goal is way too far away for me (another year of only indoor zwifting or 3 indoor seasons) although to gain experience you could always run zwift on your mobile whilst riding outside to gain more XP

Agree - I have reached level 40 doing the odd race but mostly just running side by side when doing workouts using the TrainerRoad player.

But I haven’t got enough drops to buy the fastest bikes because I kept spending on stuff I don’t need - just like real life :cry:

So is this ever going to happen? They started working on it in October and said it would be out by January. It can’t be that hard can it?

I think its very very hard to be honest.

idk, xert and join had it done quickly enough.

Though, i know xert to zwift has issues with curvilinear intervals, making them way too hard in zwift. So for those it was better to run xert and zwift seperately.

Either way, TR on ant+ and zwift on bluetooth on my pc works fine so. Meh, not missing much, minor inconvenience

I’m just hoping they release it alongside progression levels for unstructured workouts (which makes sense if you do something on Zwift that isn’t a prescribed TR workout). That would make the 4 month development timeline somewhat worth it.

If it gets released and you can simply sync activities back and forth like you can on every other platform with no other changes, I’m wondering if they do their coding on an abacus.
