Hi Everyone, David from The Sufferfest here. While I know you're all disappointed that our workouts aren't in TR anymore, we are competitors and it doesn't make sense to have our intellectual property on their platform. TR agrees with this (you might remember their issue with Zwift when their workouts were showing up over there). If you do enjoy our workouts, I'd politely ask you to give our app a try rather than finding ways to do our sessions on other platforms.
Our videos have all been updated and/or remastered entirely, we offer a broad range of x-training content and, perhaps most importantly, if you're doing the workouts on our app they are dialed into your entire 4DP power profile. That means more effective training that you can get with workouts based on FTP alone (like on TR). Our app even has a 7-day free trial so you can see what it's like. Happy to answer any questions you might have.
Thanks!
David McQuillen, Founder & Chief Suffering Officer, The Sufferfest
I had also purchased a bunch of videos and now can't use them. My advice would be to grandfather the old ones in their previous use forms and move on with your new platform. I am not going to invest in another platform, especially since one of those investments are now a total waste. Imagine buying music on Itunes and then finding out you cant use it any more, do you think you would buy more music from Apple?
While I see your viewpoint, I think you're missing the point that products continue to update and evolve. For example, the videos you purchased back then were relevant and new at the time. Since then, technology and products have evolved, as did the FTP testing, which SF now integrates with the videos. I liken it to owning your tri-bike. A new model is released with upgrades...while you purchased the bike last year, you don't get this years model. If anything, I think there should be a grace period , such as if users purchased the videos within a 6 month window to when the app was released and updated, then they can receive a refund or something.
