I'm signed up to do some Alpha testing for this new training software. I'm pretty excited, as this is something I've actually considered creating myself.
Here's the basic premise:
Using some sensors, I connect my ergo (or a bike on a stationary trainer) to a computer (PC or Mac) running this software. I am able to customize warmup, intervals, rest periods, and sprints for an entire workout and also specify songs to play for any given part of the workout. A DVD can also be played. The computer will display speed, cadance, distance, time, lap, and power (estimated by user-specified formulas).
The entire workout is saved to a file that can be reviewed and saved for later reference.
The downside is that there is no heart rate functionality, due to cost. I don't train with heart rate, anyway, so that's fine with me.
I hope to have my hands on this within a couple weeks, and I'll post feedback then.
