TrainerRoad (Page 7)

Tried this out.  Nice program with a pretty well designed layout.  Looked around to try and generate my own workouts, but no such luck.   Oh, well.  Picked a ~40 minute workout from the premade list - the first interval was 4 minutes at 125% of FTP.  And then it went up from there.

Click.  This program is obviously aimed at someone well beyond my abilities.

Checked the battery and it was still good.  Was fooling with the sensor arm and noticed the magent itself was right on the edge of the alignment line.  DOH!  It would pick up the speed but once I started going faster, there was probably some sort of deflection that caused it to miss the sensor.  I moved the magnet a bit and now it works great.  Did the 22 minute Tikaboo workout just to test and I now hold a steady power (well, not that steady, but at least true). 

Going to do a few more rides to get used to the software and then start a 6 week prgram on 1/3 with a new FTP test.  My first was bad due to the speed drop out.  Thanks everyone.

Nothing but great news from you guys!  Be careful, you are going to blow the "curve" and make all other US businesses jealous of your customer service and success!

Seriously, I got two replies from Nate while he was taking the kids to see Santa. We hope Santa brings Nate a full-time business. Soon

Yeah I was talking about the trainerroad program itself i just wasn't sure what else to call it. While I am asking for things what would it take to link the workouts with BT's training log?

I was talking to Nate yesterday about putting this into Excel and he graciously allowed me to use the TR images and links. Originally I did this so I can start putting together a training schedule for myself, but it might be of use to others. I'll be completing this workbook with all the plans over the next week as time permits. Right now it only has the Early Base plan. If anyone has suggestions for making this more useful, please let me know.

The file is too large to post here, so I made it available on Google Docs through the link below. You will need to download the original to view the images and make changes.

Got everything up and working yesterday.  Loved it.  I did the Sufferfest mode with The Very Dark Place download.   I have debated buying a Computrainer and glad I held out.  When I was done, my legs felt like I had been on a hard group ride.

This solves the biggest training obstacle I had.  With three young children (who still take naps), it was hard to find time to get out of the house to ride and stick to my training plan.   So, I would go mindlessly ride the trainer or skip the workout altogther.  No more!!

Kudos for a great resource and great customer service. 

I think we could import the TCX files you guys are working on exporting to BT.

So we can do a manual link once you get that done.
