Run TrainerRoad+MyWhoosh Simultaneously on a Windows PC

If you have used TrainerRoad + Zwift at the same time (made available by Jesper Rosenlund Nielsen at Zwifthacks.com) and wondered if it was possible to do the same with TrainerRoad + MyWhoosh – good news, it is now possible.

Thank you to Jesper for making available the AutoHotKey v1.0 script along with the TR-Z-Move installer, I was able to take this and modify it to work with MyWhoosh along with some minor updates and improvements.

TR-MyWhoosh-Move v1.10 release:

  • Works with MyWhoosh (instead of Zwift)
  • Updated to use AutoHotKey v2.0
  • Can force MyWhoosh into Windowed/Borderless Mode if not already enabled (can also use Alt+Enter)
  • Saves settings on any change not just on exit

In the same style as Jesper (and I hope in line with the CC license), an installer is available containing:

Download from Google Drive: TR-MyWhoosh-Move_Setup_v1.10.exe

Suggested Usage

  • Run MyWhoosh – (Optional: Press Alt+Enter to force Windowed mode)
  • Run TrainerRoad – select workout and start, click bottom right icon to run in ‘minimal mode’
  • Run TR-MyWhoosh-Move – If MyWhoosh is not in Windowed Mode – click ‘Force MyWhoosh Windowed’

Run TrainerRoad+Zwift Simultaneously on a Windows PC

If you run Zwift on a Windows based PC and are also a user of TrainerRoad it is possible to run them both simultaneously on the same PC and achieve a sensible window layout (as per below screenshot).

Of course TrainerRoad now uploads workouts directly into Zwift, but it has been reported that the ERG control of Zwift itself is not as accurate/keen as that of TrainerRoad, and you might just prefer to have the workout ‘blue bars’ and all its data from TrainerRoad nicely compartmentalized at the bottom of the screen.

This task is made so much easier with the TR-Z-Move tool from Jesper Rosenlund Nielsen at Zwifthacks.com

Suggested Usage

  1. Load TrainerRoad, setup your sensors (Trainer Control, Power Measurement, Heart Rate, Cadence).
  2. Load the workout, then put TrainerRoad into Minimal view as below.
  3. Load Zwift, setup your sensors – but this time DO NOT ENABLE TRAINER CONTROL. Simply monitor power, heart rate, cadence etc if you wish to.
    • Check Zwift is in Windowed Mode (Alt+Enter should also enable this)
  4. Run TR-Z-Move
    • Click position windows, or watch for changes and the window layout should be set

My LEL – Unsuccessful but an amazing experience and I’ll be back

After around a year of training and effort of putting myself through to undertake the London-Edinburgh-London Audax unfortunately I had to retire at Barnard Castle due to a knee problem. I decided to make the difficult decision and save my knee to find out what the problem is and not risk permanent damage or a very long recovery so I can get on and keep riding in the future. 5 days on since retiring and the knee is still very sore and I’ve been instructed to rest it. I need to be patient and really rest, but typical me I’m still looking at a ride for September to achieve a Super Randonneur for this season.

A huge well done to everyone who undertook the ride and completed it including my colleague Colin Davies and friends Nick Clark and Mike Henley, an amazing challenge. It was great to meet new people and get so many different views on the ride from people who have literally travelled from around the world to take part.
