Indoor Training Part 5 - Rouvy in Workout Mode

Since the beginning of 2024 I've been increasingly using the Rouvy app in my indoor bike training (see Indoor Training - Part 3 Rouvy vs Zwift and Fulgaz). Until the other day I'd only been using this to enliven my indoor cycling on otherwise very dull interval sessions, but I thought I ought to give Rouvy's workouts a bit of a try. And I'm rather impressed.

The Rouvy website has a very clear description of how this all works. So I needn't offer more than a few comments, based largely on using Rouvy on the AppleTV.

• The clarity of the information presented on the screen is excellent, though some of the elements are partly offscreen (this may be how I set up the AppleTV.
• Rouvy has the easiest system for designing custom workouts in the apps I've tried. Zwift's workout designer is clunky and it's easiest to use a third party system and then upload the workout. TrainerRoad has a clunky and quixotic system in a standalone app that then synchs the workout back up to TrainerRoad.

Rouvy may just become my favoured app for running interval session. The video below is of an endurance interval session, where I was riding in virtual New Zealand - you can see the real clarity of the information presented.
