We can recover this workout. E-mail me at support@trainerroad.com. We also have a fix for this issue in 1.3.7 which is available at the bottom of this page: http://www.trainerroad.com.

What can happen is the DB can get locked and we can't write any data. We have a backup recording, so that's how we can recover it. 1.3.7 has a rebuilt database layer to retry on locks and to make sure that two transactions can't run at once. It also has built in recovery if the database still gets locked. It's nifty :).

I plan on downloading my workouts and then loading then into my laptop. I will see tomorrow after I defrag and remove everything.

Try 1.3.7 too. There are some performance enhancements in it.

It's the beta located at http://www.trainerroad.com/install (bottom of that page).

Nate, I think you missed my question in #622, can you please answer it? No problem, I know it's a busy thread this morning, I'm just curious about it. Thanks!

The point is, ladies and gentleman, that speed, for lack of a better word, is good. Speed is right, Speed works. Speed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

While you're in an interval it shows your average power for that interval. The white line is your target power. So if the white line and white dot are on top of each other, you're spot on.

Our latest beta will also tell you how well you did on your last interval. That's pretty nice.

Got it! Sorry, my daughter just HAD to watch Blues Clues, then we had a tea party :). Now mom is brushing her teeth so I'm back on this thread :).

Ah-ha! That makes sense. Yes, I'm actually running the latest beta and the live interval metrics were cool. I just wish my legs would tolerate more time on the trainer at a high level.

Aqua Man is spot on. We get it from speed, not cadence. So cadence + gearing = speed.

To calculate virtual power, TrainerRoad needs a speed sensor on the rear wheel, not a cadence sensor.

Does anyone have any experience with with battery life indicator on TR? Meaning on the screen where you pair your PM or HR strap, there is a readout of remaining battery life of the devices that are synced. They seem to bounce around a bit for me, but it would be a nice way to avoid a dead quarq battery on an outdoor ride if it's accurate...

Thoughts? experience?

Trainer Road has singlehandedly made me fall in love with my trainer and rekindle a romance with my PowerTap!!

It doesn't show remaining life, it shows how long the battery has been active for (based on the data from the ANT device).

I haven't really paid much attention to it other than, "Wow, my HR strap has been active for 60+ hours". I actually had to change my HR strap battery today!

Update here - Nate managed to recover my data!

I honestly didn't expect him to - I've been using tech for awhile now, and glitches here and there are expected in my line of use.

But I gotta give map props - he found me on the forum after my post, I sent him my data, and he fixed it right away. I don't think/expect he'll be able to do that for everyone, but dang that's some good customer service there. Kudos for that and a GREAT product.


The only bummer part - my "normalized power" wasn't as studly as I had hoped! But that's my fault, not Nate's. At least that 143 TSS score is decent...

hey Nate, been having a weird issue...my current power reading has been super exaggerated the last week, as if powersmooth was off but I have it on the 5sec average. I think it was right after the last update? Any ideas? Thanks!

Yah, there's two things.

1) We improved smoothing so that we're calculating how much data we get in as we get it in instead of assuming a constant rate. We might have been over smoothing before.

2) I also think we have a bug in that power smoothing.

So 1.3.7 (beta) needs to have the power smoothing looked at. We're pretty busy with family stuff on mon/tues but I think I'll have time to look at it Wednesday and hopefully do a release. It's not a very big part of the code base so it's easy to tweak.

no worries Nate enjoy the holidays! I appreciate the info and glad it wasn't something I did when I was creating workouts. Cheers!

What have been the hardest workouts for you other than the FTP test.

I'm only a third through Intermediate Base 1. Eclipse took some focus and grit at the end, but I'm sure there are many that are tougher

The longer ones 1:30+ blow me to pieces..Siretta is a fav

Cathederal looks absolutely grizzly, I plan on attempting soon

---

"Keep those feet moving!" Me

I failed on Siretta the one time I tried it; I intend on hitting it, rested, as soon as I'm over this little sore throat I have. Thompson was tough too - the steady ramps just hurt.

Heh...I'm 53min into sirretta right now. Good times.

Are you workin hard enough if you can PST on ST during the workout ;-)

Cathdral kicked my butt!

It actually starts out feeling "too easy" - at least it did for me. I did the first burst/steadystate set (30 minutes I think) significantly faster than they recommended, but that was a bad idea, as when I hit the second 2 x 20 min steady state intervals, myHR went up through the roof. I could have finished the whole thing, but I would have been riding at above threshold HR for the final 20 min set, which wasn't my goal.

I should be able to get through it though once I'm back in shape (had a cold) and do the initial interval at the recommended pace (which is still steady state, just on the lower end of it.) I think it's a great workout - was harder for me in 2 hrs than a 3 hr outdoor ride with 2500 feet of climbing, for sure.

And Nate rescued my data after it crashed and was nowhere to be found - good stuff!

53min mark is in the middle of the one 60%ftp break. I didn't think it was that harsh of a workout. I am probably sandbagging my FTP a little and a 1:40 ride has been a short one for me as of late. The shorter rides with an IF > .90 hurt quite a bit more and my post would have looked a lot more like: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh

hope this find you well... mr. nate,

i signed up for the service and am very excited. have ANT and garmin speed/cadence sensor.
i am mostly interested in using this with my sufferfest videos. but somehow, "Just drop one of the videos in our player. We keep the video in sync with the workout and give you wattage based targets.", is not working for me.

what am i missing?
any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Need more detailed info.

Are the files unzipped?

If it's "Local Hero" you're trying to play, did you convert it to H.264 first?

never mind. I figure it out. i was skipping the the part you actually have to scroll down & search the title AND drop them there.

thanks for replying tho.
gotto go to get my ass kicked!
