TrainerRoad (Page 9)

Thanks everyone for the confirmation.  Out of curiosity, is anyone using this with a 1-up trainer? 

Oh, and thanks for taking it easy on me for the redundant questions - I just read the entire thread and see my questions had been asked and answered a few times!

Awesome I will be doing this once I'm done with the base plan next week!

There you go Nate. 

You give us great customer support, we give you a reason to ride!

No need to do it on my account, I was just curious.  I'm in for sure - as soon as Amazon delivers the Ant+ stick I'm signing up.  How can I not join with this level of customer support?  After slogging through this thread I'm fully confident that everything will either work great or if not, you'll make it so asap. 

So glad the finance committee nixed the computrainer.  Now maybe I can talk her into the new bike with all the money we're saving!

Thanks for all the great info, feedback, etc.  Armed with all this info, I cannot wait for my ANT+ stick to arrive and get this going!  Just a few more days...

Wow, I don't know how I missed this.  I plan to give it a try tonight or tomorrow morning.

In my study which houses my trainer, I have a desktop with two monitors.  Can the size TrainerRoad screens be increased or split onto two screens?  The bigger the better so I don't have to change my regular configuration and move my trainer to the middle of the room. 

Loaded this last night and did my first workout.  For the uninitiated data/power geeks - wow! 

My only question is about the smoothing of the data.  I know there was talk on here about that, and even though my cadence would stay within a range of 89-90 during intervals the power was all over the place.  Not sure if that's due to the trainer/wheel pressure or me, but gives me something to work towards I guess.  I really enjoyed seeing the graphs and feedback.  It definitely keeps me honest during the interval.

If you cadence is that consistant, you shouldn't see that big of swings in your power.  You might try checking the gap on your wheel speed senor (assuming you are using the GSC-10), I think I read somewhere that having the wheel sensor too close or too far away can give some wild swings in the power data.

For comparission, you can look me up (same user name) on the TrainerRoad web site.  The Gayley ride I was trying to hold my cadence steady on the intervals.

Just to jump in.  Nate, when you say "normal", do you mean that even with a super smooth pedal stroke it will look like that? Or is this normal for most us and our pedaling still needs work?  

I loaded it last night and did the 20 min test this morning.  Not sure if I should be pleased or not, but now I have a number to increase.  Must get FTP higher and lose weight. Where is there somewhere I can look to see FTP\KG = bike splits in a IM?

Last year for IM training I just got on a rode a little some hard some not so hard.  I had a good split for my first IM, but maybe this year I can do one better.  I love that you can pick a plan based on what riding you want and hit the trainer.  I plan on trying to hit some of the 3 hr work outs early on the weekends to free up time with my kids. 

I talked to BT and Nate and BT made some changes.

I was able to upload a tcx I downloaded from TR a while back today.

BT is not importing power data yet, but you can get the basics of how long/far your ride was.
