How to Create and Compare Seasons
Bike racing seasons are unique to each athlete. Seasons lets YOU define and analyze racing and training data in the way
that best fits you.
Import your outdoor rides into TrainerRoad
Sync your TrainerRoad account with Garmin Connect and/or Strava to import your outdoor ride history, and all future
outdoor rides into TrainerRoad.
Overview
From the Personal Records Chart, riders create Seasons to analyze and compare progress at different points in their
training.
What is a Season?
Seasons represent past, present and future periods of racing and training. You do not need a history of indoor or
outdoor rides to create a Season.
If you do not have past ride data from Garmin Connect and Strava to import into TrainerRoad, create a Season for the
period of training and racing you are in now, e.g. Road 2018.
