Hi all,
I got myself a Tacx Flow for Xmas with the long term aim of getting myself on Zwift. However, I currently have no internet connection. I do have:
Laptop Smart trainer Mobile phone with unlimited data Ant+ dongle
Is there anything I can do in the manner of 'Smart' training with this kit? Seeing power either on my phone or laptop would be a start.
Apologies if this is a dense question, but I'm not really up to speed on modern technology having been offline now for some time :-P

Whether the data rate would be high enough for Zwift I'm not sure. Example guide from a quick google (there are plenty of others, this just happened to be the first that came up...): www.choose.co.uk/guide/tether-mobile-phone-wifi-hotspot.html

So it turns out the internet connection for Zwift is only needed at the start (to check for updates etc) and right at the end (to upload the ride data). So you can connect, get it up and running, turn wifi off, do your ride/workout, reconnect at the end and use minimal data www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5fXsn7W0ZA
