Since after the summer I don’t think I have looked at the planner and I haven’t done a single workout. Approx 1 zwift race per week. Other than that mostly group rides (outside or zwift) and commutes. Mostly but not always I keep an eye on the buckets on none race days. Not as strong as I was 20 years ago, but I have a few 10 year power bests these past few months.

Not sure why I haven’t raced (much) on Zwift before, but that and (magic) buckets have been great for pushing a bit more. :slight_smile: And I do still use EBC on Android for easy Erg mode days, but those are not “real” workouts.

While completely off topic, one of my current favorite features of Xert is the difficulty rating. I usually sweep on Zwift group rides and some days I feel like dying despite a low average. Then it’s nice seeing that Xert agrees the ride was difficult.

Since the inception of Magic Buckets, when outdoors, rather than following exact intervals, I just fill all the buckets – mainly because I often miss the initial interval instruction summary when clipping in, and don’t see anywhere on Xert on Garmin 1040 where I can review the interval instruction & objective mid-ride

Magic Bucket is super nice and the reason i went for the 1040 when my old Edge 520 broke. I like doing group rides on Zwift and outdoors I find it hard to do structured intervals. But making sure to fill up the buckets is easy
