ROUVY AR training tips... saving routes and adjusting REALITY LEVEL!

A quick coaching tip on saving routes in ROUVY AR and how to adjust the REALITY LEVEL using the TRAINING mode.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.

Nicely done!

The reality level on a climb does help but note that it double the speed you are climbing so tends to be an issue when uploaded to strava public leaderboards.

Exactly what I realized and see as big Rouvy problem... Zwift, Tacx and probably other apps correctly calculate speed on climbs based on power and only effectively change perceived gradient and hence gear needed to climb it at desired cadence. This is great if you don't have low enough gear to climb steep gradients on your bike on trainer - you can climb steep hills without the need to change cassette and/or chainrings. You still have to produce the same power to go at the same speed up the same gradient, so Your results are still somewhat near what You would be able to do in reality (if You had that gearing available). I climb at about 10kmh @ 300W on 10% gradient in reality. My climbing speed is very similar in all apps at 100%. It stays the same in Zwift and Tacx at 50% or any other setting, only difference is, I can ride at harder gear/higher cadence. Unfortunately Rouvy doesn't work like this - In Rouvy riding at 50% makes me able to climb around 20kmh @ 300W on 10% gradient which I would never be able to do in reality (would need much higher power at my weight), so I consider this as cheating. But at 100%, with available gearing on my trainer bike, it is veeery hard to climb anything over 10%, because cadence drops to 50 or less in easiest gear... Hope that Rouvy will fix that, otherwise it is not really usable on steep climbs for me, since I'm not going to change casette and chainrings only for Rouvy :/

Mann, I thought reality level was keeping the environment more realistic: road, ride, more HD! I've been having reality level: 150% lol.

After doing zwift for some time, I thought i give Rouvy a try. Love it, but can't figure out how to save my rides. It says it is being save in the cloud.

[@laurenwolff6871]

Very easy actually. It gets saved via the app to your dashboard on the website once you save and close after a ride. When you have enabled cloud services via the website dropdown menu it can also be saved to Garmin or Strava etc

Had the same problem (on WIndows PC), then I connected Rouvy to Strava and Garmin accounts ... however I would prefer If I could see and analyse my past Rouvy workouts inside the app like after each workout
