.fit-file and left/right-balance is on the roadmap
Brilliant!! That’s great news…
And ability to ‘turn off’ kilometers ridden
Ya. I use either a Garmin or a Wahoo, both having seamless integration with Intervals.
For the time being I’ll be using ictrainer as a redundancy facility but also for the training data visuals during a session.
When ictrainer develops fit file capability I’ll probably switch to using the head units as the redundancy facility
How do you get your i.icu planned workouts onto the Wahoo?
Sorry, haven’t looked at this for a while, wasn’t straightforward then, but will want to get back to it in due course (with better/warmer weather;-)
OK. Apologies. I should have been more clear with this. Seamless uploads, not so much the other way around.
To answer your question though, fwiw, I sync the planned activities with dropbox and just drag and drop then into the ‘Plans’ folder on my Wahoo
Is it possible to push Intervals.icu workouts into icTrainer and then after the workout is compete the data (power, cadence, hr etc) will flow back into Intervals.icu?
Yes. But only in .tcx format and not a .fit file
Fit file upload is coming down the line
Is it automatic or do I have to manually move the files?
Ie; if I create a new indoor bike workout for Monday, will it automatically push into icTrainer? Or do I have to copy it over manually?
When you open icTrainer your workout will be there waiting for you (once you link icT to intervals of course).
After your workout finishes and you save the workout a pop will appear asking if you want to upload to intervals… Just click yes and you’re done
Awesome! I’ll give this a go on my next bike! Thank you for your help
Hi there! From what I understood Nicolino is from icTrainer team → have a quick question. As I look forward to switching to icTrainer from Zwift, I am comparing it mostly to Zwift.
I’m running Elite Suito trainer and I noticed that Zwift and icTrainer are producing a bit different resistance. Let’s assume I’m producing 100W, without ERG mode. On Zwift I’d be on high gear on my casette, while on icTrainer I’d be down 3-4 gears to produce the same amount of Watts. For my power training I simply would need to stay without ERG mode on my last ring on the casette for most of the training, which is suboptimal. Are there any hidden settings on icTrainer that I could change?
Also, I know that km/h speed on Zwift is crazy and innacurate, how icTrainer does know what km/h values to output?
Will happily be more precise if needed
For the speed calculation, we follow the calculation formula of the website Bicycle Speed (Velocity) And Power Calculator and use, among other things, the information of weight, wheel position, rolling resistance, etc. stored in the user profile and, of course, pedaled power.
I would have to check whether the weight is transferred to the trainer in SIM mode (ERG mode off) by icTrainer.
Nice work guys. Fit file export available now! Thanks.
@nicolino
Its not possible to train by HR right? E.g. set a target of 130-135 and Power is adjusted to stay in this area?
@FabAdv Since the beginning of the month, an HRM mode is also available.
So you can specify a target HRM and the power/watt will be adjusted automatically.
If you are the proud owner of a smart treadmill, you can now connect it to icTrainer via Bluetooth. This way, all data from your treadmill will be sent to icTrainer during your workout and from there to your connected training platforms. But we wouldn’t be us if that was enough. As far as we know, we are the first external software that can also control some interactive treadmills! So just like your roller trainer, our workout can change the speed and incline on your treadmill. Please use this feature with caution!
This feature is currently still in beta (e.g. no real tracks) and we have only tested it with a few treadmill manufacturers.
yes we tested it already - absolutly epic!
I’ve been occasionally using this for some GPX rides on an Android tablet and on the whole it works fine.
Just did a 59km course though and icTrainer sadly just seems to hang when trying to access the training result and didn’t prompt for syncing to intervals. The workout is also not syncing, and I can’t see how to make it happen manually without opening the training result.
Hi,
the training results for Android are also hidden in the Applications directory:
/Android/data/com.icTrainer/files/myTrainings
However, depending on the Android version, you may have to agree to access the directory via File Explorer.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Recent versions of Android no longer permit this access via the default packaged File app - Scoped Storage Support is turned on by default starting 14. In the end I extracted the fit
file using adb
.
The fit
file is only about 150kB, though the tcx
file is a bit larger at a few MB. I’d certainly prefer not to have to do this manually.
