A light bike doesn't replace good fitness.

Hi guys,
Does anybody have a good recommendation for a good app for visualizing power data during intervals? Kind of like trainer road or Golden Cheetah's Train mode, but on a mobile device? I know trainer road has an app, but I can't bring myself to pay $12/month for an offline app. I was using zwift for awhile, which can help break the monotony, but I feel kind of silly lugging a laptop and the charger out to do a workout.

I am not aware of anything of the top of my head, what power reading source are you using?

Though I would also question why something needs to be "visualised" beyond having actual power readings?

Imobileintervals may be what you are looking for. Controls the kickr and shows upcoming interval and power readings etc.

What trainer or powermeter are you using? Wahoo's basic app is good if you have a bluetooth device or an ant dongle for your Iphone, plus its free.

It's pretty simple but Tabata does classic Tabata intervals and not much else. If you want to do interval workouts, you can program anything you want there. Beyond that, there's the suite of software products for iPhone from Wahoo, plus one can program a tough repetitive course in Strava and work to beat it, whether on the trainer or on rollers or on the road.

Cycleops looks pretty close to what I'm looking for, I'll definitely check it out.
For those that suggested wahoo, i can't find an interval mode on their app at all. I see that there's a standalone segments app for $30, but it appears to be iPad only, and it's not clear that you can do just arbitrary intervals.

I only use the wahoo fitness app for ride recording. It can't do intervals.

Cycleops also does have quite some cool videos!

I do intervals just fine with the Wahoo app, what do you mean? :noidea:

Wahoo doesn't allow you to create "alerts" for intervals, but you can create a lap page, so if you know the time of each effort/rest (duh) you just hit the lap "button".

Is mental arithmetic that hard? If I start the 4min interval at the 20:00 mark... Geez what time do I stop?? Rest is 1:30, getting complicated now. Seriously people.
