Oh man, I'm curious -- any hints you're able to share?

I'm working on my indoor set-up and just joined Trainerroad. Overall, I'm really pleased with it so far. I'm having trouble with the custom workout functionality, though, so I thought I'd throw this out to the group and see if anyone has any ideas.

I designed a custom workout in the creator, published it, and synched workouts from there. I went into the workout app and synched workouts there as well. However, when I select the "custom workouts" radio button, it says no workouts are found. I've searched, etc. and don't see it anywhere. Has anyone gotten this to work? I am on a MacBook Pro right now.

Did you create the workout on a different computer than the MBP?

Do you have another filter applied to the search (IF, duration, video) that is screening out your custom workouts. That one has tripped me up before. Go back and clear off all other filters and see if it shows up.

Under the 'Workouts' tab, there is a small reset button next to the Workout Filters header. Give that a click and see if it comes up.

If not, check out this article and see if something jumps out to you: http://support.trainerroad.com/...950-Missing-Workouts

And if it's still not coming up, shoot us an email at Support@TrainerRoad.com

Just updated to the newest version of TR and noticed that there is now a tab under Devices (both ANT+ and BLE) for the E-motion rollers. I know they were working on it, and doing an early adopter/public beta program, does this mean that it's close to production?

Nate, I just wanted to give Trainerroad kudos. I just bought a power2max type s power meter so I wanted to compare for a week my indoor rides with virtual power. What I came out with is impressive, in my opinion. Lots of faith now with my indoor training using virtual power since December. I have a separate thread that I was asking a few questions about the power meter in the forum with another ride comparison. I did mention how it's interesting that at lower speeds on the trainer, virtual power reads a *little* high. But still impressively close! I'm just glad my FTP is as good as I was hoping it was :-)

This is what I am using as my setup:

Vittoria Zaffiro Pro Home Trainer Tire 700c x 23
100 lbs psi
temperature of room (air conditioned garage) usually between 66-70 F
One fan pointed at me, not the trainer
Kurt Kinetic road machine - old gray version from 2008ish
Turned knob on trainer till tire touched roller, then 2 1/2 turns
Usually tried to clean tire with windex once a week

ETA - the light blue line is vp. purple line is p2m.

I have noticed lately that TR countdown now goes: 5 - 4 - 3 - increase or decrease load - 2 - 1. Though this has no effect on the training stimulus, it is a bit of an annoyance to what I used to rate an A+++ product. I emailed your team and they tell me that this is an intentional ramp-up aimed at increasing the accuracy of the interval because it lets you be up to the target load quicker. Of course the load also drops somewhere between 2-3 seconds left in the interval in effect just making the clock off. I'm just weighing in to see if others notice this, and see if it truly is a new "feature" or if something is not synced correctly anymore on my set-up. If this is the new norm, I would request that this vs the old way be a setting option.

Hey J_R,

Yah, we got a bunch of complaints that the power increase of the Kickr was late, and people's graphs wouldn't be lined up. If they did interval analysis, it would show that they didn't hit their power targets for the first two seconds.

So what we did was to start the ramp two seconds early and end it two seconds early on the end of an interval. This made it so your actual power matched up to the target interval.

Some people were like "OMG, A+++!!!, This is awesome". Some responded like you have and don't like it.

We're about halfway done revamping the desktop app. We could add an option under settings where you could apply an offset.

In general I'm against putting in too many settings as it makes the app more confusing. My struggle with this one is I don't know if 90% of the people like it one way and 10% like it the other, or if it's more 50/50. I definitely want you to feel we're still an A+++ product though :).

Maybe some of the Kickr users here could help out and let me know if there's a strong consensus one way or the other.

Hi Nate,

Loving your software and have for the last year or so. I've had a Powertap since October which I e used with your system and have now bought a Tacx Vortex Smart and just wanted to double check something please.

My understanding is that I can use both with TR and you'll take the power reading from the PT and then control resistance in line with what the app requires for the workout. Is that correct?

Cheers

Oh and when do you expect Sufferfest video integration with the iOS app?
