Zwift alternative

I don’t see how cadence could be controlled automatically???
It’s something you can only do yourself. You can off course regulate resistance to target a certain HR or Power for a selected cadence.

Hello,

Thank you for your input, probably I set something wrong. I’ll try again on a future training.

sure… let me know if i can help

Same. The races are actually fun and the workouts okish.

Hi,

I retested and when I put a Cadence or HR as a target, BreakAway don’t recognize the workout ("Not supported / Some unsupported workout not Sync’ed… (workouts without any intervals with Power/HR/Cad etc.) but there are one of them for each line. It’s looks like we can’t mix HR target and Power target inside the same workout?

-25m Z2

2x

  • 2m Z3 HR 35-45rpm

  • 2m Z3 HR 95-105rpm

  • 2m Z3 HR 35-45rpm

  • 1m Z3 HR 95-105rpm

  • 30s Z3 HR 120-130rpm

  • 2m Z1

  • 16m Z1

Please note I set the workout as auto.

Thanks for your support.

Rouvy is great, beautiful, and you can import .mrc and .erg files to do your own exercices. This cannot be done in My Swoosh. A Rouvy individual annual plan is less expensive than zwift (which only has a monthly subscription).

Notice the blanks in the graphic. This is due to the lack of Power %/Zone

This is how it looks when you put a “dummy” Power target there. The graphic will show the (estimated) Power at your desired HR

eg: This is a mixed Mode workout.

You designed a workout that has a mixture of power and HR (and some parts where power /HR is not prescribed, it will then show the options for “Auto / Power / HR”)

BreakAway will honor what the workout builder provides, the lack of Power target at those HR intervals causes the missing graphic. When Intervals Don’t recognise it, it will ask for user’s suggestion, Either Power/HR or Auto and omit those intervals that are without those parameters

Suggest you put in an estimated power on those intervals. The app will try to get you to the “right” power at those HR Targets.

Note: I say try because your intervals are 2m short and HR lag can be up to 30secs++ and at the new Interval, The app will determine the delta of current HR and last 60s HR and increment / decrement up to max of I can’t remember, 30% of FTP or something like that to try to get you to the Desired HR target.

Just to note, Zwift does now have an annual plan. Here in the UK it is £12.99 a month or £129.99 annually. Not sure how that compares to Rouvy and other platforms.

You can send ERG files to My Whoosh with Training Peaks. I pay for Trainer Day ($3.99 mth or $39 yr) it sends workout of the day to free Training Peaks and then it sends it to Whoosh. Very simple.

Excellent! Thanks!

Rouvy is 149,9€/year or 14,99€/month so it’s the same amount.

I’m really surprised no one on this thread has mentioned IndieVelo, which is in free beta right now and has workout push sync with Intervals. It is limited to PC/Mac platforms right now so no iOS (android in restricted beta) but I have been on it for 6 weeks and really enjoy it. check it out.
