rouxtjie Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Rouxtjie... I'll be sending you a PM as well if you don't mind sharing. Winter is a bit of a bummer going out so the IDT seem to be used more often now. A variety in training can never hurt. Its training program dude...either power or hr based.
Madone69 Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 Its training program dude...either power or hr based.i am interested in the power based plan. would you share
Cargyrl Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Eish wena, last night did a 30 minute ride, 20 of which was a high tempo power ride, keeping the cadence at 100 no matter what, big chain in front and 17 at the back, eina eina eina, white hot pain and bleeding through the eyes, thought I was going to go blind. Now that was training ... IDT is a very useful tool to get very strong, fit and hard@ssed without the dangers and long hours of road riding. Liked it a lot. Tonight is easy peasy ... only 90 cadence on easy gears.
travisza Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 I've just had a look at trainerroad. It looks great. Is the idea that the app simply replaces the Cycleops app? I also see that it doesn't run on Android.Yes. It runs off your laptop / computer (iOS beta version to be released soon). Its a brilliant app - been using it since Jan

Donovan Le Cok Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 www.trainerroad.com End of story :-) That trainerraod looks amazing. I am going to give it a try.
travisza Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 That trainerraod looks amazing. I am going to give it a try.You wont be sorry. And its a monthly subscription so if you dont enjoy it its only $10 gone. And I think they will actually refund you the first month if you dont like it
GrantRH Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Do you need connectivity for the app? Going to Kgalagadi for 2 weeks and I was going to take my IDT with me to keep fitness up. Also not keen on MTB on my own with lions and elephant.

All the workouts will be downloaded to your computer so you can do them and then once you get back home connect and update to the website
GrantRH Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 Couldn't find the app for trainerroad, so downloaded fittrip instead. Nice video rides (rockies, TdF), linked to HR, and looks like I only need connectivity to download video rides. Once it's on the iPad it's on. Monthly subs of $6. I'll give it a try and let you know.

silversonic Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Its a 45 min workout video I downloaded from the 'net, nice as you 'ride' along with them and keeps it interesting a bit. Has nice music and graphics as you can see. Looks ideal - is it possible to share general multimedia info on the hardware platform etc you are using? I've been IDT'ing for 10 years via PC or DVD&TV, though would prefer a basic,simple, less complex solution.

lukeram Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Hi guys First off rouxtjie will be PMing you for that program I'm new to the IDT world, 2 months young but really enjoy it and can't help but get more technical with all the info... I run the cycleops CVT app with a ant+ dongle on my iPad, and use the AirPlay mirror to watch on the big screen. It's got some great courses around the world, incl streaming video and the ability to race virtual partners (or even actual people - haven't tried that yet though) Sufferfest is a new addiction, the workouts are prebuilt and sync to the video files - but Christ the violator lives upto it's name! It's £4.49 a month. The app is the best I've seen, but to be honest, am also going to give trainer road a whirl. Luke
lukeram Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Oh yeah, and strava segments is interesting, but at £20 it's overkill, because most of the cycling programs let you ride "real" roads anyway... Wish I'd known that before I bought it
