TrainingPeaks Virtual is a virtual world, similar to Zwift, where you can simulate riding your bike as if you were, in fact, outdoors. TrainingPeaks Virtual adjusts your trainer resistance relative to the grade of the virtual road on which you are riding, so you are going uphill and downhill and shifting gears just like you would outdoors. In addition, TrainingPeaks Virtual has a workout mode that allows you to execute structured workouts from your TrainingPeaks calendar in erg mode.
TrainingPeaks Virtual is available for your laptop, Apple TV, or phone/tablet, and is free for Premium subscribers to TrainingPeaks. Full details on downloading the app, logging in with your TrainingPeaks account, and setting up your profile can be found here.
