Device Testing iSMARTtrain V4


At the 220 Magazine awards on Saturday night, Joe Beer scooped the award for the Best Coach of 2004. Joe advises us on the development of iSMARTtrain from a science and coach’s point-of-view.
V4.0 Beta 16 is released tonight. We’re getting pretty close to final release now, so please let me have any bugs you find or questions that you have.

Just a quick heads-up – for the moment, don’t upgrade from Garmin ANT Agent to Garmin Express. It looks like Garmin Express doesn’t keep a local copy of the files it downloads for your device, so there’s no data for iSMARTtrain to pick up. I’m investigating this further, and will hopefully have a solution soon.
I updated my PowerTap hub today to the new firmware which supports ANT+ Sport, which meant I’m able to use it with my Garmin Edge 705. The update was fairly painless – the updater cost £75 from cyclepowermeters.com. It was simply a case of removing the cover of the PowerTap hub and pulling out the…
Project ANT is our new product from Yellow Field Technologies. It’s an application to enhance your turbo training or treadmill sessions. For use with any ANT+ Sport compatible power meter, heart rate monitor belt, speed or cadence sensor, it displays your data on your desktop or laptop Mac with a graph or video. The data…
As you can see, we’ve moved our blog from Blogger to WordPress. This proved to be a fairly painless operation, even importing our old posts from blogger’s setup. The only thing I haven’t quite figured out yet is how to set categories for the posts. I’ve setup the categories, but there’s no option in the…

Can’t wait to see 4.0 Steward!
What? Something is happening? I’d finally reached the point of assuming that iSMARTtrain was dead and have been looking for alternatives. Sorry for the snark, but I’d really like to move on to a device more recent than my decrepit 11 year old Polar. I’d love to stay with iSMARTtrain. If the product is still alive, give us an ETA for the update and what devices it will support.
Hi,
No ETA yet – hoping to open the beta testing up to more users later this month – at the moment, I’m using a handful of testers to hopefully get the majority of bugs ironed out.
V4.0 will support all the Garmin devices, Cycleops Joule & Cervo, SRM PC V, VI & VII and all the Polar devices that V3 supported. I hope to support the newer Polar devices and the Suunto ones, but this may be through their websyncing software.

Will V4.0 go with my “Polar RC3GPS”? I’m looking for a software like iSMARTtrain! Can you send me a message, when it’s ready?
