Ability to run off distance & speed
The majority of my rides on TPV are workout rides, so whether I ride a route with or without hills, the elevation gained, speed, and distance ridden are all very inaccurate. It would be nice if there was a setting to turn off at least speed & distance so those numbers aren't included in the ride files. From a training standpoint, I mainly track hours anyway, and obviously hours are accurate whether riding indoors or outdoors.

Many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual
TrainingPeaks Virtual already has a fully customisable UI, so that you can turn off whatever display values you want, and either replace them with something else, or leave them completely blank - it's entirely up to you. Simply configure it however you want using the Main Menu > Options > UI Settings menu.

@Barry Gaunt ... you're correct. I meant to say "Turn Off" distance & speed. When doing a Workout or Free ride, I could be riding a hilly route, which slows down the rider on-screen, meanwhile I could be doing high-intensity intervals and actually pedaling at a much higher cadence and speed then the on-screen rider. Speed & distance is only reasonably accurate when riding in terrain mode, where you actually feel the inclines and descents. It was the same on Zwift.

I don't care about seeing distance or speed on the screen while riding, I was just hoping there was a means to remove distance/speed ridden from the ride file, which gets shared to Strava and Garmin Connect. The mileage and speed of a ride during a workout and free ride are VERY inaccurate, as terrain is not felt. I'd rather those miles not be added to actual ride miles. Not a big deal, but this is something that is possible on other apps.

I think you need to edit your title: "Ability to TURN off distance & speed".
Why do you think the distance/speed/elevation are wrongly simulated? What are you comparing with? Perhaps you need to examine your bodyweight setting (perhaps allowing for clothes/tools/drinks/gps et.c.) if you want to compare it with real life. It would be interesting to know how TPv simulates the "system weight".
