"It's so easy..." Riding a Training Peaks Workout on Training Peaks Virtual

[@MikeReid-kl4qh]

Does anyone know if you can make that HUGE data box at the top of the screen smaller?! It's massive, and I really want to have less of it in my face. I have a huge screen in front of my bike and that data takes up most of it.

[@BuildPeakCompete]

Yeah, under the options you can adjust the data you want to see or not see.

[@MikeReid-kl4qh]

@@BuildPeakCompeteI want the data but the screen realestate that top box takes up is excessive, it takes up most of my 27” screen - I was hoping it could be modified. Pointless having a bigger screen when the only thing that’s bigger is the data and the bike /scenery still a small area at the bottom.

A video how to create the training/workout?

[@BuildPeakCompete]

Noted, as in making it on training peaks or making it within the TPV app?

[@Mikael150381]

@@BuildPeakCompete if time allows it i call both? Their might be questions for both. Thx

How do you enter the work out on training peaks. There is no indoor bike option. If I put it a sa bike ride it does not show up on training peaks virtual.

[@BuildPeakCompete]

You have to use the "workout builder" for a bike workout and set the power ranges relative to threshold that you are wanting to ride at. Those time and percentage intervals that you build out are what TPV (or Zwift) reads and uses to run the workout. Also, if there are more than one bike rides on the same day, make sure the first one is the one you are wanting to ride.

As a TrainingPeaks coach, now that you have access to TPV, do you think you’ll schedule in races to your clients training plans?

[@BuildPeakCompete]

I think it's a very good option for the athletes that need that extra "motivation" to put out good numbers indoors. The key will be making sure the route / distance aligns with the goal duration that we're looking for them to hit. One way we've worked it before on zwift was to have an athlete ride a longer trainer ride and then finish with a race to teach them to go hard late. I've also used it some to have my athletes hit a 20 min paced effort on their own and then finish with a 20 ish min race that we know will be threshold+.

la pantalla muestra una velocidad menor a la que da el rodillo como la soluciono?

[@SilvaTintas]

Why you dont use the terrain mode?

[@BuildPeakCompete]

I will if I’m just riding around bit hills will cause the trainer to become harder. If I’m supposed to be on a recovery but I end up on a 10+ percent gradient riding a route, that won’t be recovery.
