What workout did you do today? (2018/2019)

Me too! Mine didn’t look so pretty though :grimacing:

Wow. Didn’t know you could do that. TR creates a workout straight from the file, or you have to build it manually?

Can you download from BBS with the free access?

Easy to look neat in erg mode. Had issues with connectivity though. HRM dropped halfway through and right near the end of one interval, the trainer spiked to over 500W all of a sudden.

Some picket guard +2 today. Good stuff. Adding this one to my favorites. I cut down the recoveries a bit. I did the first 3 in low gearing then the fourth with standing intervals then the last one normal gearing. The graph is not pretty but oh well

Hey @JoeX, You download a file in TR format from BBS:

and then use TrainerRoad’s Workout Builder (which is a separate app) and use that to build the workout, which you then load as a Custom Workout.

Echo +5 on New Year Day. 2 hours. But, no in-ride instructions. Disappointed. Any reason why not?

Possibly because it’s a variation

Edit: just checked and it should? Have you them turned off?

Does 5hrs gardening count? I’m giving myself a GSS of 200. :zzz:

Back will hurt tomorrow no doubt.

Carillon, totally nailed it even with a 15% intensity bump. I’m going to have to bite the bullet and do a mid plan ftp test

Hello Solomons, old friend.

This is one workout that I keep coming back to when I want some extra TSS, and to test myself. As I did McAdie on Saturday and Wright Peak -1 on Sunday I was not 100% fresh; I’ve sometimes used this one to catch up on missed training. This time I’m getting ahead, because I have to go Scotland tomorrow evening for a funeral on Thursday and I will miss two days. This gets me some solid TSS in one hit and a few days recovery before the weekend.

Carter +1 on the rollers rather than the turbo trainer It is a different experience doing TrainerRoad on rollers. Did a couple of hours of skiing today too.

Two 20 min sweet spot intervals on the way up, followed by some sweet singletrack descending.
One of the best parts about riding in the snow: when you catch your wheel in some deep snow on the side of the trail and endo, the landing is soft :snowflake::+1:t3:
