Master![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by Jason N Originally posted by rymac I was not real comfortable doing that on the trainer...but then I remembered Ben's numbers and figured it could probably handle it. Sounds like someone's famous last words... Don't really want to do one 1 of those. |

I dropped them into GC and go a 99TSS workout for 1 hour. Marc, is there an easy way to build that? The only way I know of is to use the workout builder wizard in GC and for something like 10x30" it's a PITA. I don't know how to easily create the same thing 10x without just creating a new line for each one. I drop them into a ,mrc file and load that I build the mrc file with Excel. I put the header and footer in a worksheet, then cut/paste/calculate for the times The I copy into a txt file that I put a .mrc extension on Here is an example mrc 0-10min at 60% 10-20min at 70% [COURSE HEADER] VERSION = 2 UNITS = ENGLISH DESCRIPTION = TestOutGC FILE NAME = SampleMRC.MRC MINUTES PERCENTAGE [END COURSE HEADER] [COURSE DATA] 0.00 60 10.00 60 10.00 70 20.00 70 20.00 80 25.00 80 25.00 70 30.00 70 30.00 100 33.00 100 33.00 60 35.00 60 38.00 100 41.00 100 41.00 60 45.00 60 [END COURSE DATA] |

![]() Marc, do you do this for erg workouts on the CT? If so, how gradual is the buildup? I've always done manually, it's not a big deal but where the delta in the interval gets to be over 120 watts or so takes a about 4-5 seconds to get to the right wattage. And for the OCD peeps like me, I usually start bumping it up at the :57 mark, and don't drop it until the interval is fully over. I rarely have a 10-15 x :30 hi/30 low but when I do it gets to be a bit of a PITA by the end |

I use this tool to build my workout files for the computrainer; easy to stipulate multiple reps on one line with recovery level on same line as well |

I stay start at 0min at 166w and get me to 188w in 20min. It gradually builds up, I focus more on my music selection than the CT Put GoldenCheetah on a PC. I drives the CT really well. Has a workout creator, or use a Spreadsheet or use the tool Jim just showed. Super simple |

THose files work with GoldenCheetah as wel Chris, here is the youtube video on downloading and installing GC, and configuring a trainer to be able to use the training tab http://youtu.be/wZnufHZTZNQ You will see an option in there for the Computrainer If you create one the erg files, you load them and execute them like this http://youtu.be/8wllGNwdQSY Edited by marcag 2013-12-23 2:04 PM |

Probably a 3 seconds but it's quite smooth |

Will be almost 2 months off the bike for me, but restart in January lol. Want something that makes you want to work hard ?

Elite![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() This morning, for fun, I decided I would load up my workout in GC train mode to see what it was like. I built the erg file from the site Jim posted, imported it into GC fine. I then paired my PT into GC and made sure it picked it up and displayed the power. I had everything set to go, clicked start and....... it started reading from Tab's PT instead. *sigh* |

In other words when it pairs it doesn't really remember the ID of the PT it paired with and picks up "whatever" when you start to ride ? Edited by marcag 2013-12-24 6:54 AM |

It almost seems like it just started reading the first one it found after I clicked start. I'll have to try it again to see if I screwed it up somehow. I might try adding both PTs as a device in GC so that it knows about both and then maybe if I pick the specific one it will work. |

I might try adding both PTs as a device in GC so that it knows about both and then maybe if I pick the specific one it will work. My gut is it just picks up the first one when you start the workout. I will ask the group if there is a way to fix this. PS : you can also use that erg file with TR, I set up my wife who will officially start biking next week Bought bike, check Install on trainer, check Setup VP, check Buy nice cycling shorts, check Pedals, fit... check Result : No cycling Plan B "Marc, do these cycling pants make me look fat. ?" YES problem solved, time to get on the bike! First part of the story = true, second part is my plan if we don't get on the bike next week. She's 5'6 112lbs so I doubt she'll believe the fat part. |

It looks like something is possible https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/golden-cheetah-users/9UfwyVPSF... But I haven't tried it. Something to do over the holidays |

It would be odd if it didn't record the ANT+ id. While we were both riding I started up the new device wizard and it saw both of them and displayed the ANT IDs of both. I just wasn't close enough to the laptop to type in a name to save it to see if it worked. |

I can't even get my kids to do an underwater recording of me One offered IF I bought her a new bathing suit. She doesn't buy her bathing suits at Walmart so this could be an expensive proposition. Want to trade a kid for a puppy for a week ? |

Pro![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I've been meaning to do an IM Arizona race report but just keep putting it off. The main reason is that my 910xt quit recording bike data after about 80 miles. I spent about half a mile on the bike during the race re-starting in bike mode after getting out of multi-sport mode. There is some data post-80 mile that I'm trying to recover but I may end up with bike power stats for only 80 miles - very frustrating. Anyway, with vacation this week I may be able to get to writing something up. A couple months ago folks were chatting about race nutrition plans and I'll try to give specifics on that. Merry Christmas everyone.
