It is often interesting to see how changes to our performance would affect our time. To do this we must activate our Virtual Athlete to simulate the activity for us using our experimental parameters. This is how you activate your Virtual Athlete on a past activity.

Activating Your Virtual Athlete Profile

Keeping the Same Date and Time

1. From the Activity that you wish to change locate the Main Menu  (top left).
2. Select the menu item “Map Settings”.
3. Select the Mode tab and this will reveal two options Standard and Analytics. Select Standard to simulate a ride.
4. This will now use your Virtual Athlete’s profile.
5. Go to your Virtual Athlete profile and make the alterations to performance you would like.

Choosing an Alternative Date and Time

1. Click the Date & Time icon
2. Pick from a different time that day, or select “7 day forecast” to load the latest forecast
3. This will now use your Virtual Athlete’s profile.
4. Go to your Virtual Athlete profile and make the alterations to performance you would like.

Keeping Your Activity Power

You may want to alter other parameters such as CdA, Weight and Rolling resistance without changing your Wattage. To do this, from your Virtual Athlete profile, activate the switch “Use Activity Power”. Your Virtual Athlete will now follow the same power you originally recorded for the activity.
