Exactly!

They basically arenā€™tā€¦.they are treated as pass / fail and TR takes your word for it that it was completed as instructed. The actual data is not analyzed, but you get the PL ā€œcreditā€ for completing the workout.

Are you confident in Q1 25? or more likely Q2?

Thing about intervals.icu/zwift is itā€™s not reliable but itā€™s acceptable cos intervals.icu is cheap/free-ware run by volunteers. Trainerroad is a professional platform so weā€™d expect it to work. If it didnā€™t weā€™d complain. They wonā€™t release it until itā€™s reliable.

Iā€™ve been using it for while and this is new information ā€¦ itā€™s not reliable ?

*intervals is developed by one person and has been extremely reliable in my experience. Curious to hear what is unreliable about it?

Additionally its development is very open and you can see what everything is based on, no real black box outputs.

Actually, Zwift could just make its app available as borderless window and Iā€™d place TR min workout player over, thatā€™s it. Zwift in windowed mode looks sort of weird. Next to that, its workout player is terrible compared to TR, is that what we are looking for?

I have reliability issue related to running 2 apps at the same time connected to my gear. It would be nice to only have 1 app (Zwift) connected and running.

The January launch date was never more than a ā€œmost likelyā€

Back in the November announcement

ā€œWeā€™re currently working on this; it will most likely launch in January.ā€

I donā€™t use Zwift these days, but a friend of mine does and she thought she saw someone in a Trainer Road branded kit riding in Zwift late last week.

The TR staff have been trialling it in Zwift since late last year.

TR-Z move (third party app) does exactly that. Makes Zwift borderless and moves the windows of Zwift and TR(minimized mode) perfectly. And the TR text instructions during workout will appear over Zwift. Iā€™ve been using it for a while.

(Think the at a cost thing in the title was a bit cheap)

Whatā€™s the cost? (I canā€™t watch the video right now)

The cost is the same as it is now. You need to be a subscriber to both services. Bit of a weird angle to take for the vid name

Ah, yeah. Especially since that is also true of every other service that syncs to Zwift :man_shrugging:
