Computrainer with TR testing?

 Computrainer with TR users: What are your best practices for testing on the bike? I obviously want to use the same course for repeatability during the OS and know that TR provides and FTP test course set to "slope", so that is an option. I know some even use the IMFL course and then repeat in subsequent tests. Perhaps with the impending launch of EN workouts on TR it will be included in the mix? What do you all recommend/use? Thanks!

    Search the workouts using the key word "Test". You'll find one that is close to the EN 5/10/15 test; it's 5/5/20, called "20 Minute Test". I just pause it for five minutes and pedal easily in that middle segment to get my full 10 minutes of rest.

    TR basically operates the CT the same as the CT software does. It automatically shifts into ERG mode during the 5 and 20 minute test segments. Then it does the math for you and spits out your FTP at the end. Like buttah.

    Yeah been using it with the computrainer for the past two weeks and LOVE IT. I believe it automatically switches to slope mode from erg for the testing if I recall correctly? Either way, I will probably use the same one for my testing and either pause it like you said, or mod it by adding an additional 5 min to that middle rest set. Thanks!
