The Wahoo Ecosystem just got smarter, stronger, and more insightful with the launch of our brand-new Fitness Metrics.
Here’s the scoop:
Introducing the new suite of Fitness Metrics
What it is: A suite of tools built to give you a complete view of your training and guide you towards becoming a better athlete.
Review the impact of your workouts. Dimensional Training Load (DTL) provides a breakdown to understand the intensity of your activity and your training focus so you can understand the impact of your workouts.
Understand your training balance. Cycling Trends pulls all your sessions together to show how your training is stacking up over time across your four fitness dimensions. It highlights whether you are focusing too much on one dimension, neglecting another, or building the balanced fitness you need to reach your goals.
Know how ready you are to perform. Training Capacity tells you how much strain your body can handle today based on your recent load. A high number means you’re fresh and ready to push; a low one means fatigue is still in play. Sometimes you’ll train with low capacity on purpose, but knowing where you stand helps you avoid overdoing it and recover when it counts.
Track your fitness. Fitness Score is a simple daily check-in that reflects your true long-term progress. It does not penalize rest days. Instead, it blends your workload, recovery, and trends into one number that shows where your fitness is heading and how close you are to being at your best.
How to use it:
Just record an activity, and your metrics will start to populate automatically. For the best experience, make sure you’ve got an Athlete Profile — if you don’t, complete a fitness assessment in SYSTM or take the Athlete Quiz in the Wahoo App to get started.
That’s it — your training, illuminated like never before.
This is actually a really great new feature. Until now I had to rely on Garmin or (worse) Strava to plan my training regarding fatigue and fitness. Now I have everything in the place where my of the structured training occurs but it still integrates my runs (tracked via Garmin) and my outdoor rides (tracked via Wahoo Roam). And then it uses 4DP which is a plus. Nifty!
I can only see it via the wahoo app at the moment though, seems to be a glitch with the tab in the SYSTM app (iOS). I clicked on it and it just reloads the home page.
One question: If I record an activity using a non-Wahoo app (e.g., using my Polar watch), do I definitely need a Strava account to make the data usable for the Wahoo app?
Really excellent. Fabulous support article describing all the features as well. @Helga is there guidance on entering the Post Session Rating? Is the plan to use Heart Rate at all when this is available? Did a 5 hr ride yesterday with a lot of hills. Most of the time was Zone 2 but totally dead by the end - how hard was it - very hard was how it felt and what I entered. If I’m doing half is easy - well half was easy and half was very hard - I guess I enter very hard as that is how it feels at the end?
