Do you have to do this via the website or can it be done via the app? I have not been able to find out how to do it from the app.
It’s appearing to me to NOT be switchable in either the iPad or iPhone app…and requires going through a browser to toggle back and forth between them. Curious too if there’s a not-so-obvious method other than browser.
Hey @Chris_Ringler,
At the moment, switching to an outdoor ride has to be done in the browser, unfortunately. We are working to bring all the Calendar features to the mobile apps shortly, but for now you’ll have to navigate to the web-based calendar to make the adjustment.
I’m running into this too. Happening more during seasonal transition weather, winter/spring fall/winter and rain days. With the training plan builder, more users will have scheduled rides and probably run into this more. A minor inconvenience, but wanted to throw my experience out there if it helps.
is there a timeline for this?
No timeline at the moment. It can be tough to give an exact timeframe because some bugs can be trickier than others, and in some circumstances, developers may be pulled to other projects temporarily which can extend the expected release date. What I can say is that we have been working on a Mobile App revamp for some time now, and we have logged some rides internally on the app, but we are still ironing out the details .
Hi Guys, any closer on this issue as it is extremely frustrating and buggy with the browser as well.
What issues are you running into? I have no troubles switching a workout to outdoor on the website or (android) app.
In the last week I’ve had two workouts that won’t allow me to flip from inside to outside and the option is greyed out.
Most likely reason is that those workouts just don’t have outside variants. If you have the names of those workouts we could check that.
Makes sense. The one today was Truchas+4
Yeah. Looks like that one just doesn’t have an outside version. Bit strange because all up to the +1 do have.
It appears my entire training plan does not have outside variants? It puzzles me that having an outside workout button on the workout takes years to develop. Might as well go to Zwift if this is an indoor only program.
Do you mean that none of the prescribed workouts in the training plan have an outside option?
IIRC its in the edit (pencil) button in the bottom left of the wo description on the Android app (I suspect iOS will be the same)
I’m super frustrated over this. I was able to change the indoor to outdoor last week, either via the apps or the web based.
However, seems like recent updates had taken such function away. I cant change my indoor to outdoor exercise now either in apps or web based.
This is frustrating honestly. Makes me wonder if i should go back to zwift.
Hey there, we haven’t taken any function away! Check in with support@trainerroad.com and they’ll take a look. There are still a small handful of workouts without outdoor versions, and it’s possible you were looking at one of them. Otherwise, you should still be able to freely switch between indoor and outdoor from any platform!
Aha, thank you sean.
Now i notice that not all program can be done outdoor and indoor.
I wonder why. Thanks for this.
For the next two weeks there is not an option to switch to outdoors. I’ve been doing train now and selecting outside from that menu.
