Since UI release 0.9.40, it is possible to perform a workout without selecting a route (or free ride)
The way it works:
- User opens the workout area
- User selects a workout
- In the WorkoutDetails dialig there is now a new Button "Start without route"
- Clicking this button will immediately start the workout. The screen during the ride will show the ride/workout dashboard and a graph showing actual power and heartrate data compared to the workout
