    Thanks for the lesson. Just wanted to let you know that from the story telling and graphs design there is a hell lot of improvement potential. Example, the circles story: why not to just say in the beginning what the circle types are - but no, instead it takes 10 min to go through explanations and then realise, that there is very little point in the sizes - you literally say, people ask about what it means and you say them that it’s the … not even clear. So you say that to them, but what is the truth in reality? Can we get an answer from those who were the inventor and not what you say usually to users? It deals like no one knows and you kinda express your point of view. That kinda is confusing.

The training plan I have been given is starting my plan as if I am at the very start of training. Is there anyway to adjust the plan so I am past the base phase. Cheers. Really enjoying the videos

    A new user trying to select the right app for my own training needs. Just wondering. I'm using a super heavy bike for training. Something like 15kg. These are shared bike paid by the hour using apps... chains are sticky, parts are fallen apart, wheels are buckled and etc. And the gearing is very low too... so my speed is low, cadence is medium but the effort is high. How does Xert use this kind of effort to estimate my fitness?

    Hi, these tutorials are very good however they focus on the features of Xert which is fine, but to be honest I would love to see a "how to" video. That is to say; as a first time user, how to log-in and use the app. I'm muddling through but still feel very unsure about using it properly.

    • @ulfheroldjensen
      @ulfheroldjensen 9 місяців тому

      Exactly! I came to XERT about a year ago and realy, really stryggled with the basic How to operate concept. When applying sch a load of new ideas and xpressions in the realm of training, the least you could have done was make it simple to get started and use. I have found that curve to both steep and difficult.

  • @CreRay

    Can you please explain how the "pop out" works? If Zwift is running on the computer, and the Xert EBC on phone/tablet, I can't see how that should work.

    • @XertAcademy
      @XertAcademy Рік тому

      Hi @CreRay . After selecting your workout in Xert, you can press the buttons that say 'Power Gauge' and/or 'Workout Chart'. This will open the Power Gauge and/or Workout chart in a new window. You can resize the windows around Zwift, if you'd like to see your current power and/or upcoming power targets. Reach out to our support staff via email if you need further help! Cheers!

    How do we know whether the Carb data is accurate?

    • @XertAcademy
      @XertAcademy Рік тому

      Good question! It's based on your power output and your fitness signature in Xert. Generally, you'll see a higher contribution from Fats at lower intensities and a shift towards more carbs used at higher intensities (at Threshold & above). We have a support article that discusses how it works - check it out here: baronbiosys.com/fat_and_carb_utlization/

    I'ma long time structured workout type of rider. So having a well functioning app that runs on the Garmin has been a great addition. On my recommended rides I was following structured workouts so there is little difference for me between an indoor ride and an outdoor recommendation. The beeps signal pace changes, a quick look down is all that I need but having larger numbers on the Garmin IQ app would be a huge improvement.

      Hi Greg, good question. Yes, the Garmin Workout Player also supports our mixed mode workouts! Make sure the trainer is in the 'Power Control' mode from the trainer menu.

  • @mrwezbo
    @mrwezbo Рік тому

    Some feedback: (Haven't used xert in a while so may have changed) but the issue I had with mixedmode workouts is on the EBC screen or device screen running the workout, I never knew if an upcoming interval was slope or ERG and got caught out when the interval started. Check the 'virtual espresso' 3hr workout for example.

    • @XertAcademy
      @XertAcademy Рік тому

      Thanks for the feedback. If you're using the Xert EBC for Android, you'll see the upcoming interval target power, as well as interval type (ERG or SLOPE X.X%). We will add this information to iOS app with the next update. You can also preview the workout steps to see which interval(s) are in SLOPE mode... most often, they are the sprint/all-out intervals. Cheers!

  • @albertdee1139
    @albertdee1139 Рік тому

    Very nice video Scott, well done. Depending on my mood, I use exclusively slope mode or mixed mode for my workouts. Since you asked, a video better explaining SMART workouts would be good. Maybe it is workout dependent, but when I've done SMART workouts in the past if there is a lag getting to the interval target, the power increased to a point in my mind anyway where it was trying to get the average power of the interval, likewise if I overshot the interval target for a significant period then the target power would decrease. Don't take this as a complaint as I'm very happy with Xert, just an idea for another video.

    • @XertAcademy
      @XertAcademy Рік тому

      Thank you, Albert! That would be a good topic - perhaps I could explain Xert's various 'SMART' intervals and how they work (or how we use them in our workouts). Good suggestion!

  • @ajlexinicole7
    @ajlexinicole7 Рік тому

    I love slope mode most and use it just about every workout, as it just seems more realistic, as you will be doing the work outside as well. So, I prefer to use my gears and cadence to produce the right power for the interval. Also, this was a very good and informative breakdown of mixed mode. Thanks!! and, keep up the great work.

    • @XertAcademy
      @XertAcademy Рік тому

    • @XertAcademy

      If you have an Ant+ dongle (or your Android device natively supports ANT+), it would be possible to run all connections to Xert EBC via ANT+ and connect to FulGaz on ATV using Bluetooth. AFAIK, remote player isn't possible on ATV. If there was a way to do a browser picture-in-picture, then it'd be possible. Cheers!

    Is there a benefit of using Xert as the master, instead of just importing the workout into Zwift? It appears that when Xert grabs my latest workout from Strava, it analyzes, XSS, etc. Other than the eye candy of the workout info, is anything lost in the translation?

    • @XertAcademy
      @XertAcademy Рік тому

      Good question! All the SMART features are lost in the conversion. No more dynamic power intervals that adjust on the fly, no curvilinear intervals (they're exported as ramps, which makes the workout much easier or harder than intended). Xert EBC also supports our Mixed Mode workouts, where the app will automatically switch between ERG and SLOPE mode (where you need to use your gears to hit the target power). The ability for our app to automatically switch back and forth makes great experience for workouts that feature very high or sprinting intervals like 'Heroes' or 'Dirty Little Secret'. Hope this helps!
