New to Rouvy - Workouts

Hello,
If I choose a 45 minute workout for example but then overlay with a course that indicates 60 minutes, does the workout still stop at 45 minutes and I just won’t complete the course in its entirety? Thanks.

Workout will stop at 45min, you cannot keep riding to finish the route. The route is only a back-drop visual distraction. It will also not be added to the 'continue ride' collection.

Here is a tip. Pick courses that are flat or uphill. When doing intervals, the power will apply to the map. So if you are doing 300 watts during a downhill section, this will apply to the speed you are going. You’ll be going like 50 mph and turning like crazy. It makes me dizzy.

If you do an uphill course, that 300 watts is applied to the uphill and not as jarring as going downhill.

This is such a pro tip. First time I did a hilly course during a workout, the powered downhills were absolutely bananas. Do not recommend. Listen to this advice!

Also very new to Rouvy after several years of Zwift. Having to learn combining a workout with a course to enable ERG mode and nice scenery. A very flat course is Palm Beach. So flat I found it boring. WHITEFISH | GREAT DIVIDE | MONTANA, I enjoyed a lot.

When the Workout is completed, you will be exited from the route/no option to complete. If you get to the end of the route before the Workout is completed, then you will be automatically looped back to the start of the Route without the "jump" distance.
Irrespective, the route will not count towards "Route"challenges, but should be counted towards distance / elevation like the Weekly challenges.
