You can complete TrainerRoad cycling workouts in ROUVY when you connect your ROUVY account to your TrainerRoad account. Here’s how to get set up and started.
Getting Started
To complete TR rides on ROUVY you will need the following:
- An active TrainerRoad subscription
- An active ROUVY subscription
- The latest version of ROUVY on the device you train on. If you don’t have the ROUVY app you can download it for Mac, iOS, PC, and Android here: ROUVY Download
Step One: Connect ROUVY and TrainerRoad
You'll establish syncing between the two platforms through the TrainerRoad website:
Step One: Navigate to Training Platforms from the Profile navigation menu on the TrainerRoad website here: Account > Connections > Training Platforms
Step Two: Select Connect under ROUVY
Step Three: Read and Agree to the connection terms
Step Four: If you’re already logged in to ROUVY, this will bring you to the ROUVY authorization page. Click Authorize to confirm the connection. (If you’re not already logged into ROUVY, you’ll be prompted to do so first).
After clicking Authorize you’ll be brought back to the Training Platforms section in the TrainerRoad settings menu. You have now successfully synced ROUVY and TrainerRoad! To confirm that the connection has been made successfully, a green border and an option to disconnect will now appear in the ROUVY option on the page.
Step Two: Choose How You Want to Ride
What gets imported into ROUVY will change depending on whether you have scheduled workouts in your TrainerRoad calendar or not. Here are the two main options for completing TR rides in ROUVY.
Follow a Plan
If you are training for a race or an event we recommend following a training plan. When you are following a TrainerRoad plan workouts scheduled on your Calendar will automatically be pulled into ROUVY on the day that it is scheduled. If you haven’t added a plan to your calendar and would like to follow a custom training plan check out this article to get started: Plan Builder Overview
Get a Recommended Workout Everyday
No plan, no worries! TrainerRoad will automatically send a recommended workout of the day over to ROUVY when you aren't following a plan. When you want to do a ride just open up the ROUVY app and today's recommended workout will appear right at the top of the home screen, as well as at the top of the Workouts tab. The only time you won't get a recommended daily workout is when you have a recommended rest day. To learn more about recommended rest days check out: Fatigue Detection
Step Three: Complete your TrainerRoad Workout in ROUVY!
After you have established the connection between the two platforms and decided how you want to train you are ready to ride. Here is how to access and complete your TrainerRoad workout in ROUVY:
Step One: Open the ROUVY app and log in to your ROUVY account.
Step Two: Make sure your trainer/ power meter/ other devices are connected to ROUVY. If needed, click the devices bar at the top of the screen to connect your devices.
Step Three: If you have a scheduled TrainerRoad workout today, it will appear right on the ROUVY home page.
It will also appear at the top of the Workouts tab.
Step Four: Click on the workout. This brings you to a preview screen that shows more information about the workout and allows you to customize your workout route.
Step Five: Select your preferred route and click Start Workout.
Step Six: Start pedaling to begin your workout. The workout profile will appear at the bottom of the screen, while upcoming intervals are listed along the upper left of the screen.
After the Ride
Your ROUVY ride will end automatically when your TrainerRoad workout is complete.
Post-Workout Surveys
After you complete your ride you will be prompted to fill out a survey rating your effort. Rate the perceived effort of your ride with 1 being Easy and 10 being a maximum effort.
You can also update your survey response directly in TrainerRoad at any time later on. For steps on how to do this check out: Post Workout Surveys
Your Next Workout
If you aren't following a plan - no need to do anything else! You will automatically get a recommended workout of the day next time you open up the ROUVY app.
If you are following a training plan your next workout will appear on the ROUVY app Home screen, as well as in the “Workouts” tab, when you open the app on the day it is scheduled.
If you are on a Training Plan, you won’t see a TrainerRoad workout pushed to ROUVY on days when your plan has no workouts scheduled, since these are intended to be recovery/rest days.
Ride Sync
Your completed ride will automatically sync to TrainerRoad once you have ended the workout. If you'd like your completed workout to sync to any other platforms, such as Strava, you will need to enable third-party syncing through ROUVY.
