Lots of entertainment from the TR faithful and the haters… very entertaining.
"Nobody at TR had responded to these specific concerns ever and I’m tired of being ignored here.
The traditional FTP has a useful meaning for me, and all other platforms agree to within a few percent that it’s around 300 W for me currently. I don’t mind training with TR number 342 W instead, but this has so many major repercussions on how workouts have to be named and processed into other systems that still have the traditional FTP meaning."
When Eric took it over, they tried to split out lots of different sub-forums (cycling, running etc) but all the traffic defaulted back to the Tri forum. That didn’t really land well.
It’s moderated to within an inch of its life and neither Eric nor Ryan take any negative feedback well at all. It’s a shambles really.
Just had a quick look to see what they were saying about the current political/cultural situation, but doesn’t seem to be any political chat? Too hot a potato?! Someone was chided for mentioning Trump in an Economy thread (seems sensitive), and told to stick to politics thread which I don’t see.
Very much so, yes. re the politics, that happens in The Lavender Room but one change they made was that you have to be a member to see that forum. I think they did it not to upset ‘ partners’ and hide it from view.
They split the Lavender Room into two parts - the politics free Coffee Shop and Politics is Life, you don’t just need to be a member, you need to request access to the politics forum.
I havnt Turbo trained or used TR for a long time but im guessing theyve decided to fabricate a new ‘unique’ metric to make it difficult to move outside of their eco system?
Enjoy.
