You’ll need to download the Trainerroad software or app once you’ve signed up and created your account to run when you’re riding.

To get started with Trainerroad, what you need is: Some of the nearly 1,000 workouts available on So this means you can train with a power meter even if you don’t have a power meter, or the funds to buy one. It’s a clever idea to create an online platform for this, but even better they’ve gone and measured the power curves of lots of common turbo trainers to give you a proxy power output when you train. Trainerroad is a computer training platform that allows you to take speed, cadence and heart rate information from your turbo trainer (or power meter) and it then gives you a dashboard with power output and cadence targets to ride using one of their now hundreds of training sessions. I already knew of Trainerroad and had friends who are using it and I think it’s a clever idea. However now I’m a convert to indoor training all year round and a little while back the folks at Trainerroad got in touch and asked if I’d like to try using their system.


Until that point, my turbo was just an expensive thing that gathered dust in my garage. Thanks to the folks at Wattbike, I trained indoors consistently and rode better than I ever have (you can read an overview of that story here: ). Last year was a revelation to me in that I discovered indoor training.
