Recording a free ride without workout? #223

|
Hi there, just stumbled over your app and just want to say thank you! I wanted something like this and was also thinking of building something like this, but I am mostly having Frontend experience, so this might have been a long path for me :D I have tried it today for the first time, but after an hour of testing out different things I was not able to record my session without starting a workout. I saw another question about the difference between the two play buttons but apparently I am only having 1 play button which does both, starting the workout and recording. Is there another way now to do it, or is it maybe even a bug? 
Thanks in advance and best regards! |

Hey, I decided to remove the two play buttons in favor of leaving only the But if you skip to the end of any workout the recording will continue in free form mode. The trainer will switch to slope mode with grade value of 0%, and the counter should start to count up for the current interval since it is open ended now. Currently what you can do is: create a custom workout with just one short interval, you can even skip the interval with the lap button and record the rest of the session in free form mode. There is a build in editor at the workouts tab, or you can use any other |

Another question by me: yesterday I tried to attend a structured workout in no-erg mode just setting the smart trainer not as controllable but only as power meter. All went good except that speed and distance were not recorded (cadence was) even though the relative button was ON. Is it normal ? Is it another correct way to do a "sim" mode structured workout ? |

I just ran a test with the following configuration: Tacx Flux trainer connected as Power Meter, with Power, Cadence and Speed switched on for the Power Meter
And here is how the .FIT file looks: 
The app always records distance and speed if there is power or speed source connected. It's either this or a 3rd party application is stripping the data while trying to recalculate speed and distance (Garmin and Strava may do that). Let me know if I can help further! |

You're right! It's been probably caused by an app running in background which was "draining" those data. Tried few minutes ago and speed was correctly shown. |

Hey,
I decided to remove the two play buttons in favor of leaving only the
start workout button. It was confusing for Users to have 2 buttons. So this feature is no longer available.But if you skip to the end of any workout the recording will continue in free form mode. The trainer will switch to slope mode with grade value of 0%, and the counter should start to count up for the current interval since it is open ended now.
