This is a great way to train indoors no matter what level you are at.

here's a bit about it……

Structured Training Will Make you Faster
TrainerRoad picks up live power, heart rate, speed and cadence data while you workout on your Trainer.monitor your ouput and gives you live power targets during a structured workout.

ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart Device
Connect your ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart device directly with your computer
Check compatible hardware
Live Data
Your data steams directly to your computer and shows up live on screen.

Three Ways to Workout
You can use power, VirtualPower or heart rate as a basis for your training.

Power Based
Connect your ANT+, or Bluetooth Smart, power meter for workouts with power based targets.

VirtualPower Based
No power meter? No problem. We take the power curves of certain trainers and translate speed to power on the fly.

Heart Rate Based
Connect your ANT+, or Bluetooth Smart, heart rate strap for heart rate based workouts.

i've used this for a while now and can safely say it makes indoor trainer less boring but you will suffer….

Looks great. Just need to buy a Garmin Ant+ dongle - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Garmin-010-01058-00-ANT-CHIP/dp/B00CM381SQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408960116&sr=8-1&keywords=garmin+usb+ant

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
