Any rough time estimate on manual data entry?

I'm a big TR fan, but agree that lack of certain features is a bit of a disappointment for a paid program like this.

We agree too that we need to make it so that users can upload outdoor files.

Right now, our core is making riders faster through indoor training. We see an expansion point as making riders faster through indoor AND outdoor training.

There's still more stuff that we can do in our core to make people faster and make sure that competitors don't come in and eat our lunch and be out of business.

As of right now, we recommend exporting tcx files or using something like tapariik.com to be able to sync files to other platforms for analysis of indoor and outdoor rides together.

Although we might seem big, we're still a very small company. One thing that small companies do to shoot themselves in the foot is to take on too much. Then the quality of everything suffers and you're not really good at anything.

Our development team doubled this winter and we're starting to mature a ton a software group. We've been putting things in place so that the past doesn't hold us down and make it very hard to add new features.

Although it might not seem like it, TrainerRoad is probably one of the more complex mobile apps you use. We sync large amounts of data via an API, store it locally, display graphs, hook to third party BT 4.0 sensors, hook to third party dongle to read in ANT data and our app runs for hours and hours at a time. And that's just the iOS platform, we support mac and pc too!

So my point is I think you'd rather have less feature that are quality than a ton of features that are half-assed, although I totally agree with you that we need to build MORE quality features MORE quickly.

I'm fine with exporting trainerroad sessions to upload into Garmin Connect/Training peaks, don't really know why everyone else wants to do it the other way.

Keep up the good work guys

Ditto. I like the way you display the rolling tss score. It would be nice to manually add in outdoor rides.

+1

That's not criticism, it's just a wish list. I love the program, and I've seem significant progress this winter. Combined with the Sufferfest videos, it's a superb training experience for me, and it is worth every dime.

Anything new here?

What I'd like to see is some sort of manual entry, similar to what Strava has. If I do a workout that's not connected--indoor or outdoor--I'd like to be able to have it be a part of my TrainerRoad Career page. Sometimes, my fancy equipment fails, such as what happened during my trainer ride on Wednesday. I still completed the workout, though, and I would like to have it in TR.

For those above who asked why I would want it, it's so that I can fully take advantage of the metrics offered on the Career page. For example, TrainerRoad has a useful graph that tracks your accrued TSS over time. If that TSS score is missing two rides, though, the weekly metrics are going to be off.

I like TrainerRoad a lot. I do virtually all of my indoor workouts on it, and I want to be able to take full advantage of what it offers. Thanks.
