TrainerRoad

Structured indoor cycling plans holding the trainer at target watts

Subscription app that builds a cycling plan from a rider's power numbers, then holds the trainer at the prescribed watts through every interval. There is no virtual world to look at. For riders who want the session and nothing else, that is the appeal. Plans adapt around a missed or failed workout. It runs on a smart trainer or a power meter.

    Structured indoor sessions run on TrainerRoad, one of the two platforms he says most of his trainer time goes to. He subscribes to Rouvy, FulGaz, Xert and the Tacx app as well, though those are there for review work rather than his own training.
