Master 10208   Northern IL |  Subject: RE: SBR Utopia Season II - OPENOriginally 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] |

| Subject: RE: SBR Utopia Season II - OPEN 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 |

Extreme Veteran 5722 | Subject: RE: SBR Utopia Season II - OPEN Originally posted by axteraa Slick, thanks Jim! Not that I have a CT to use it with. 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 |

| Elite 7783 PEI, Canada | Subject: RE: SBR Utopia Season II - OPEN 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 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. |

She had me doing a ton of non-freestyle stuff. Then she was helping with my catch. Loving this swimming with Megan.... family time AND a workout! That's a sweet deal Fred, doesn't get much better than that! |

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 4675 Wisconsin near the Twin Cities metro | Subject: RE: SBR Utopia Season II - OPEN 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.
