Hi all, have an 11 year old Computrainer. I have been primarily using Trainer Road but have also started to use Zwift because of the link with TrainingPeaks since that is what my coach uses. I have also used the TrainerRoad Workout builder and works fine, just an extra step. It works very well and no problems on either product as they are both different.
For Zwift, there are two questions that I have tried to figure out if I am missing anything, but I think the answer is still “No” but I wanted to check with you all with more experience with Zwift:
1. Calibration after the workout is started. When in TrainerRoad I start the workout and ride along for about 5 minutes then do the calibration by pausing (F1), hitting F3 to do the calibration, hitting F3 to lock it in, then keeping riding. I have not figured out how to do this in Zwift. I do the calibration by riding on the CT before I plug in the USB, but this data is not then able to be captured in my Strava file (note after the comma should be in pink..). Can I control Zwift from the CT headset for calibration like I do with TrainerRoad after I have started the workout? What about on the laptop (which honestly is out of reach when riding).
2. Viewing the ERG workout (TrainerRoad type view) versus riding around in the virtual world. Sometimes you just want to focus and stare at the dot on the wall :), or more likely I will minimize this and can just see the graphic while watching something else. Is there a way to see this type of screen while riding in Zwift?
3. Anything like SpinScan on either system to graphically show pedaling efficiency?
Thanks for the help!
