📣🎉 ZWIFT + TrainerRoad Integration is LIVE! 🎉📣

I’m not seeing it in the FAQ, but what is the TR suggested workaround for calibrating power meters before the workouts? Zwift doesn’t have this feature for some power meters (ie. pedals).

This is awesome! Just tried it out and everything worked perfectly. Can I make one small request though? Zwift doesn’t integrate with Dropbox, and I really like that TrainerRoad does. Is there any chance that TR could continue to sync these workouts to Dropbox? (But continue to let Zwift sync to Strava, Garmin, etc, the integrations it does have.) Maybe a bit of a niche request, but hopefully possible, since TR already does this so well.

Hey, I’m looking forward to trying out this integration on Wednesday.

Typically, I like to do a workout Monday/Wednesday and then a Zwift race on Friday. I keep Monday and Wednesday workouts zone 2, lower zone 3 and then the race is typically all out.

My question: Is it possible to integrate Zwift race to the calendar? For now, to try it out, I’ve set up a custom training plan to do workouts Monday and Wednesday, and left Friday blank. It would be great to have a way to schedule an intense race day. The custom training plans minimum intense days are two, so I am a bit conscious of overtraining.

Edit: I’ve added an event every Friday to the calendar, will try that out for now.

By authorizing this integration, will zwift have the ability to analyze previous Trainer Road workouts, for their calculation to determine zwift pace/race rankings?

No, we don’t send Zwift any of your completed activities to analyze.

Can I pick which workout I want to do through Zwift? Or do I pick one on TR and it loads it into Zwift?

Would you mind elaborating on this? its obvious that terrain resistance is off, but ERG is fluctuating pretty significantly…anywhere from +/-30 watts at any given time

Congrats on getting the integration, now make that zift kit for real life too :smile:

Make absolutely certain you do not have your trainer paired to a second app (like TR) on the same or different device. What you describe sounds like the yo-yo action seen when 2 apps/devices are fighting for control over the trainer.

Zwift picks up my power pedals and my smart trainer. Is it doing something similar to PowerMatch and setting my pedal power to the target?

Yes, Zwift has a similar Power Match feature which is active anytime you pair a power meter & smart trainer.

As delighted as I am that TR is now linked to Zwift, it doesn’t alter the fact that Zwift rounds up and rounds down the designated Watts in what in effect is a Custom Workout. I find it annoying and lazy because Zwift can be very accurate when it wants. On “difficult” watts critical workouts I think I will still use Zwift (without Resistance) and open and link TR ‘in screen’ (on my iPad).

Pick a workout on TR put it in your Calendar and it will appear in the For You screen in Zwift.

Zwift will use the exact watts that TR put in the workout so no rounding on TR workouts (unless I misunderstood what you are saying)

It absolutely does change that :+1:

TR requested that Zwift change that behaviour and they did in Zwift game update 1.83 - unsure if it’s only for TR workouts though? I don’t see why it would be.

I (and some others on the Zwift forum) were seeing no rounding on Intervals.icu workouts.

I had zwift account 2020 active for month or so. I remember my laptop at time was not really up to task run both zwift and TR on parallel and perceived quality was not so high. After this feature i have given second change for zwift. Also i have updated the PC to handle any load since then. I really hope this sync/ co-op benefits Zwift, TR and myself.

Lately i have had issues to concentrate on tough workouts while I am doing something else in one screen while running TR on other screen. I hope running more demanding workouts on zwift will keep the concentration up when fatigued.

Wondering if the TR pop up messages in Zwift could be less solid or slightly smaller? Or wow could they be displayed on phone alongside instead ?

Super new feature thanks , I particularly liked the account linking process , really smooth.

You’re not the only one. Having both TR and Zwift is an excess of money spent in my opinion. I’ll be keeping one or the other. Not both.

Congratulations on the great work on the integration with zwift - epic win… and a feature I’ve wanted for a while.

Did my first workout this morning - seamless with no hiccups. However normally after I’ve finished my TR workout (in TR app) it is simultaneously uploaded to my Garmin connect account. Now +2 hours since completing and no sync to Garmin. Is this connection not working now. I tried reauthorising but nothing (so far).

Anyone else have this issue, or got a fix.

Hmm , that interesting. If the workout is sourced in Zwift and synced to TR, then I don’t think a Tr<>Garmin link would sync it, plus you could end up in a synching loop if you did. I would link Zwift to Garmin for that.
