Hi!
I’ve been trying to set up a sprint workout using the workout builder and send it to Wahoo so that I can control my Kickr (V5) from the app (the free one).
What I want to do is 10 times a 10 seconds sprint (all out!) with 5 minutes in between.
I’ve used the following syntax:
"10x
- maxeffort Z7 10s
- 60% 4m50s"
When checking the workout in the Wahoo app it seems OK (visually at least). However, when I tried it yesterday I could not sprint as expected. For the first 2 seconds or so it seemed like I could put some power but afterwards the flywheel just keeps spinning at high speed like there is no resistance from the trainer and I cannot maintain high power, even with a high gear (50-11).
What could be the issue here?
- Syntax used in the workout builder? (maybe “freeride” + high gear on the bike would work better)
- Trainer setup? (see below for the details)
- Something else?
My setup:
- Trainer = Wahoo Kickr V5
- Power source = Crank power-meter (4iiii Precision 3+) ; I have set it in the Wahoo app so that the Kickr uses that as the power source + I use the “power smoothing” option in ERG mode
- I record the session using a Garmin Edge 530. It is not connected to the trainer, only to the power-meter for Power and Cadence data.
- I had also Zwift running, as well not connected to the trainer, only to the power-meter for Power and Cadence data
- Control = Wahoo app with workout synced from intervals.icu
