Tried it on my phone a couple weeks back and couldn’t get it to control resistance on climbs. I must be missing something, thoughts?
I wrote a guide on the Facebook group a while back:

The long and short of it is you have to use dropbox sync and Intervals.icu as a bridge.

Somewhere in the settings you can customize nearly every data field. You can also change things on the fly using keyboard shortcuts. Not sure how to actually do that using an AppleTV, though.

Not surprisingly, they never mentioned swift in this podcast. Very interesting interesting that the focus seems to be on racing and the accuracy and verifications associated with having a high-quality port system. I still can’t help but thinking that TP acquired IndieVelo primarily to compete with Zwift, though.
Is there anyone saying that isn’t why? I can’t think of any other reason you would.

Ditto, no need to mention the elephant in the room because the tangential goal is apparent & obvious.
This is aimed at Zwift but probably more indirectly then just getting random individuals to switch platforms. TP’s main market is coaches and training plan sellers. Giving those folks an included virtual cycling space for clients has to make the coaches and plan sellers really happy. Virtual will provide coaches with more tools and for folks selling plans on TP it should help sales since the workout platform is now integrated right into TrainingPeaks.
I think the rest of us just get to come along for the ride.

I watched the video. It seemed obvious to me that George was the smartest guy in the room.
I think the TP guys recognise that and will soon give him a pretty free rein across the whole TP platform.

Love to see people “doing things properly”, so I’ve maximum respect for George.
TrainingPeaks has seriously lucked out getting someone of his calibre and productivity(!) on-board.

I hope this is the case. I use TP as my central repository of all fitness activities, but the analysis tools are significantly lacking compared to intervals.icu. Been debating for a while whether I should shift to Intervals. I’ve had a paid TP account for years, mainly for scheduling activities, but TPV may be enough to keep me around another year - it’s a nice change from Zwift …

Anyone else having difficulty using TP Virtual and TR together? I can run Zwift and TR concurrently without problems, but can’t seem to get my Wahoo Trickr X HRM to connect to TPV and TR.
I am using a MacBook Pro with the built-in Bluetooth and an Ant+ dongle. If I load TR first it connects to the trainer and HRM via both Bluetooth and Ant; TPV then can’t find the HRM. If I load TPV first then it connects to everything via Bluetooth and Ant+, and TR doesn’t see the HRM.
I’m pretty sure the Tickr X (first gen) has only one Bluetooth connection, and that once one of the two programs uses the Ant+ connection it blocks out the other. Is there a way to turn off Bluetooth or Ant+ completely in either TR or TPV?
Thanks!
Using TR and Zwift I’ve found better to load Zwift first and connect everything first by ant+ (inside the icon you get both
options just press ant+) except trainer resistance that I leave disconnected. Only with watopia loaded I launch TR and select only trainer and HR by bluetooth.
If TPV lets you choose like Zwift try doing this way.

Thanks. When using Zwift I definitely load it first, then TR. TPV and TR both seem to ‘hog’ bluetooth and Ant+, not letting the other use it. I’ll keep trying.

I have this problem whenever I try to dual record with my Garmin head unit. No matter which other software I’m running, the behavior of my Neo gets really weird and I suspect it’s the Garmin “fighting” for the signal…which is a real problem, because you can only do workouts in Erg when the Garmin is in control and I am trying to not use Erg.
Hope you find a fix!

For dual recording, I use a profile that has trainer control disabled. That eliminates the potential for fighting for control between it and another app (Rouvy in my case). It does ask to add a smart trainer when I use it but that’s one touch to dismiss.
I was wondering about doing that. How’d you do set that up in a profile where it ignores taking control.
I am using a 1030 Plus
After you set up your profile the way you want, (menu - Activity - Create New) you can go into that profile, bring up Sensors from the menu, select trainer control and disable. I may be wrong but I think it is specific to the profile and not global disable. I only use my 1040 to record, not control, so I never run into issues.

Must be specific to the 1040. I don’t see that option on the 1030 to control connections within a given profile
