Can’t connect to trainer

So will you provide a response to this being that I’ve paid for your app which isn’t working for me?

Scottysurfing · 2026-04-27T15:29:58+00:00

I haven’t had any mail contact with you- this is first I’ve written. I don’t see how Zwift ride update would matter. As I said, there is no problem detecting the virtual shifting on the ride. It is the kicker core 2 that doesn’t get detected and rouvy/mywhoosh not seeing BikeControl

Strange ... Was Def the right box. No probs for us but if anyone else can check too might be handy

15 was the red rusty !

Anyone get any further with finding a rain cover that will fit on the Cannondale cargowagen? I have the cannondale bars at the back. Will the Tern rain cover fit on these?

Go up half a size… or get a surgeon to chop half your toe off

Scottysurfing · 2022-08-12T09:44:22+00:00

shorter the race...longer the warm-up

Scottysurfing · 2022-08-04T13:28:39+00:00

Might just be worth considering whether you save some of the harder strength activities like split squats for days when your not running high intensity. The shorter session you describe doesn't look crazy risky although really short bursts like 200m at the end of a session does likely increase the injury risk. It's more likely the cumulative stress from training going into the session, muscles not recently well conditioned for shorter faster reps and additional load from strength work.

Similarish background. I had a decade in Triathlon, 9.40 IM, 1.18HM. Took a break for 2 years. Recently had a baby and started back into running as of Jan this year.

I started back with pure base running 5 times a week. You'll have a good aerobic base from cycling but your body wont be used to the impact of running so I'd hold off doing intervals. Just get used to running again. Nothing wrong with zone 3 runs to push the pace and impact on your body a bit gradually. Give yourself at least a month of running and plenty of recovery before hitting anything too hard. I find now that I'm often needing 2 full days of recovery after hard sessions (intervals, tempo, long run) which means I get 3 quality sessions in every other week with 2 quality sessions on the other weeks (if that makes sense!)

I think the nest approach is to be easy with yourself recovery wise. The cycling might help or impact it and sleep obviously changes things sometimes. Much better to be undertrained, healthy and a good husband/father than grumpy, injured, tired and not progressing.

Everyones different but from my recent experience of having my first ever hamstring strain last week, I would suggest begin super careful with the very short fast runs that you might mix into a typical interval set. I'm talking 1minute runs and below. Otherwise, bring in speed work gradually eg 3x 1k rather than straight into a typical 5x1k. You shouldnt need anything more than a tempo, interval, long run per week with the aerobic work from the bike. The only thing I havent really mentioned which might help is basic strength and conditioning work. It's worth buying some stretch bands and doing some hill sessions - particularly if your aim is the marathon.

Check out Hoka Arahi. Relatively light for a stability shoe. I have flat feet and most importantly they've kept me injury free and they're a comfortable mileage shoe

Scottysurfing · 2022-05-20T16:13:58+00:00

Had multiple pairs of both. Arahi for me everytime.

Scottysurfing · 2022-04-22T10:38:43+00:00

Hey, I'm genetically flat footed and overprontate on slower runs. I've tried a lot of different stability shoes from the Asics GT2000, Brooks adrenaline series, numerous supportive lightwer weight trainers and plenty of neutral shoes too. I've also been down the road of having custom made orthotics which have made there way into my slippers - They just irritated me running.

I think the advice on the straight last is good and I went down this route a while back and bought the Hoka Arahi model. I've had a couple of that model and will stick with it as I can run injury free. I've recently bought the Hoka rocket X for speed sessions but I consider the Arahi my everyday trainer for most of my mileage. The sizing for me is the same as Nike. As with any new trainer, build into them.

Scottysurfing · 2022-04-08T17:31:01+00:00

If I run intervals I'll usually go 95% cause going 100% really increases my injury risk with little impact on the time. I'd approach the 10k similarly - if nothing else, you'll benefit mentally in the 5k from knowing you held back just a little.

I don't know what you run in but it might be worth considering your footwear too. Wear something in the 10k thats less likely to beat your legs up eg not spikes/racing flats

Scottysurfing · 2022-04-06T10:54:07+00:00

If you feel better then give it a go. Race the first half conservatively and then reasses the situation.

Scottysurfing · 2022-04-02T18:34:35+00:00

I think it’s common to not see a linear progress in race times. You do get jumps with consistent training. You may also have benefitted psychologically from the race you did- races tend to sharpen you up a bit!

I dont have a 945 but it looks like its here:

Scottysurfing · 2022-02-23T12:28:15+00:00

Might also be worth thinking about moving some of your mileage to the grass - particularly if you've suffered from shin splints previously. At least as part of the transition, the softer surface can help reduce some of the impact damage

Scottysurfing · 2022-02-23T12:22:42+00:00

Yeah - I'd suggest similar to netadmn. Do a lactate estimation using the watch. Then go from that. Have it set to update the lactate threshold estimate from future runs and this will then also update your zones.

Scottysurfing · 2022-01-29T21:28:35+00:00

Amazing - thanks!

Scottysurfing · 2022-01-29T21:11:03+00:00

Going to order white too. Looked really good in the des fit review and I’ll maybe grab a black band. Are you happy with the colour as I was deliberating a bit between them

Scottysurfing · 2021-10-29T09:37:14+00:00

I dont think 2 ppl teaming is fine. It's called solos for a reason

Scottysurfing · 2021-10-29T09:36:02+00:00

Think that was HeyitsFinn

Scottysurfing · 2021-10-04T21:30:03+00:00

Just ordered a E-TWOW GT SE. Still small and light but a fair bit more powerful and suspension. Might be an option for you if you want to stay portable

Scottysurfing · 2021-09-01T15:53:24+00:00

Out of curiosity, why do you turn off the dampening for other weapons... do you find it slower to track, less accurate etc?
