It would be nice to have the ability to ‘link’ two or more cycling workouts into a single session. I am thinking of a scenario like linking the Recovery Spin workout after a longer, harder workout. It would be nice to be able to just continue into the Recovery Spin without having to stop.
Thank you for considering this request.
Yep yep. This one has been requested for ages.
Sometimes I’d like to tack Igniter on as a “warmup” prior to a tougher workout
+1. This would def be good, especially if it was recorded as a single activity. With my notebook in front of me on a trainer desk, I just keep pedaling as I save a completed workout and I start the next workout. This results in two separate activities with perhaps ~1min of pedaling between them going unrecorded.
Hi, has there been any traction with this? With RGT gone and some remaining on location videos, I’d love to do this so I can cancel/pause my zwift membership. I really don’t love the idea of paying for multiple apps.
This was always teased as “coming soon.” Sadly it seems to have fallen by the wayside along with so many other SUF app plans.
Probably related to the “new workout player” that has been mentioned/promised for a while, too.
I can imagine that that bit is actually accurate - an update player to handle playlists is required. It’ll happen with the new kits, surely?
This is such a bummer. I haven’t used Suf/systm in years and was just on zwift. I just jumped back in because I want to start training again. I thought for sure this had been done.
The training plans sometimes put multiple on bike workouts back to back. This still requires you to start each one individually instead of them just being cued up back to back?
Wahoo doesn’t have a JRA (just ride around) app anymore, which is basically what RGT was and it helped round out the ecosystem. So not only is that gone but there’s not even a player so you can pick things to do a 1.5 hour or 2 hour workout. This is honestly embarrassing at this point. This was being talked about when I was here last years ago!
It is what it is, as they say. Still, imho, the best bang for your training buck, and there’s nothing out there that compares. For riding around and racing, you can use TPvirtual for free atm, and there’s also Mywhoosh which continues to be free afaik.
Looks like TPV will move to their professional service in March and costs about as much as SYSTM
Yeh, they said they were gonna do that. Their site currently says, “free through March” and that after March it will form part of TP Premium. I have no use for the premium features though so won’t be signing up.
As an IndieVelo founding member I have TP free for 12-months. After that I’ll probably keep it because for me it’s my alternative to Zwift. I use SYSTM as my base for training, and then use another platform for virtual free-riding and racing when it suits me. So it’s one or the other. And if SYSTM ever disappears I guess then I’ll move to TPV. Tho I hope that doesn’t happen any time soon.
What do you think of TPV?
I also realized that rouvy offers a 1 year membership that works out to about 28/month and supports UP TO 5 USERS!
So like 70-80 bucks a year if you and 4 friends can split the cost…Sure beats everything else. A 2 member plan is like 18/month on the yearly sub.
I’ve enjoyed TPV. But like everything, different people are looking for different things. So opinions differ depending one what devices people have and what goals they have. So this is all just my opinion.
I think TPV has the best physics and the best racing.
It hasn’t had as many users which is good and bad. The world is filled with bots to keep you from riding alone, but as more and more real riders join the bots are removed.
There are a lot of events. And the ways you can race are very customizable. So you can race for lap points or a lot of different ways.
It’s not as gamiffied as Zwift. Which is good for some people, but not others.
You can import your own workouts.
And now it’s connected to Training Peaks which provides one of the best coaching and training and analysis platforms.
Cost v benefits depend on what you’re looking for. I haven’t used Rouvy, so I can’t compare them. But I’m more than happy with TPV. I cancelled Zwift and Stava and Garmin and now have all my data on TPV.
The Rouvy workout player is somewhat quirky, and has a few personal annoyances to me (can’t skip backwards in intervals or rewind/fast-forward, can only skip forward one interval at a time; upcoming interval displays %FTP instead of watts), but overall I’ve been enjoying using it for workouts over the last month of trying it out for the first time.
I like the workout editor, which also allows you to copy existing workouts and edit them. Unfortunately the calendar doesn’t let you schedule workouts in advance, however; you can only view completed activities.
I’m not all that picky in what I want to see for indoor workouts, though, just some real-world cycling footage, and I almost always play my own music so I don’t need a customized playlist.
