Half Monty Makeover! 🚀

Attention Sufferlandrians and Wahooligans,

We all know the Half Monty is the “kinder, gentler” way to update your fitness numbers, but staring at a ramp graph while your legs turn to lead isn’t exactly the most inspiring way to spend an hour.

To help you push through the burn, we’ve added a mash-up video to the Half Monty fitness ramp! We’ve curated a high-energy showcase of iconic moments from across all our content channels. It’s the same scientific protocol you know (and love-to-hate), but with a much better view to keep you motivated when the ramp gets steep.

  • The Science: Your FTP, MAP, and THR numbers will update exactly as before and all your previous workout history will remain visible.

  • The Storyline: We’ve refreshed the narrative a little, but the core instructions remain the same.

Head to your nearest Pain Cave, to give the new version a spin, and let us know what you think!

Sounds excellent! But it’s only been 20 days since my most recent Half Monty. It’ll be a while before I go for that again!

This is awesome! Super stoked to ride it. Any chance it can be switched every couple years. I don’t want to get to an effort in The Model (or some other workout) that all I can think about is just trying to stay alive during half Monty because that’s what happens to be playing during every step that pushes me past my limit in HM.

Are we ever going to get the “promised” revision that shortened the constrained effort part of the test.

OK then. I will try it! I just sucked the last time (2 weeks ago). Need to up my game.

To be fair it Half Monty doesn’t suck you could go harder :sweat_smile:

100%… I mean… if you see anything other than the pool of blood soaked tears growing on the floor in front of you, you haven’t actually done it, right?

I will accept a massive debilitating cramp as an acceptable alternative

Why is this makeover not in the web application. It appears only on my phone app?

Web application? I was not aware that SYSTM has a web app. Are you referring to the Wahoo app? Not sure what you are referring to.

I meant the Wahoo app that I use on the desktop (the link in the original post went to the web), not on the iPhone.

OK but this is an important distinction - Wahoo App or SYSTM on desktop?

SYSTM will have Half Monty.

The Wahoo App will not.

14

I use the SYSTM app which I run on the desktop, and that does not have any change to Half Monty.

15

I use the SYSTM Windows app and Half Monty has the new video on my PC. Is it possible that you have an older version of Half Monty downloaded on your computer?

There is no indication that an updated version is available for download.

17

So odd!

I removed my downloaded version, and downloaded it again. Now I have the updated version.

Hi ho, Sir! There actually is a SYSTM web app.

The main difference between the web app and the desktop app is that the web app doesn’t allow you to open any of the actual vids/workouts.

BUT… it does allow you view workout descriptions, favourite them, add them to your calendar, delete them from your calendar etc as well as offering a fully functioning and easier to manipulate History Beta where, if on a desktop computer, I find it a LOT easier to see and fiddle with than on a mobile. The calendar also works and, for me at least, I find navigating between pages of the library (eg. going back and forth between things to decide what I might want to add to my calendar) much more intuitive than the desktop app itself. For example, swiping left and right returns to the prior page in the web app but this doesnt work at all in the desktop app.
Edit: here is a link to the web app
