New Wahoo Release: My Readiness and Oura Connection

Today Wahoo released a new way to answer the question every athlete asks in the morning: how is my body responding to my training?

What’s New:

My Readiness

  • What is it? One daily state that tells you where your body is at. My Readiness combines three scores: Recovery Response (how well you recovered overnight, built from your sleep, HRV and resting heart rate), Training Capacity (how much load you’re carrying from recent training) and Mental Capacity (your daily mental check-in). Together they give you a readiness state for the day, from Primed and Ready through Under Stress, Depleted and Rest Recommended, with a short explanation of why. You’ll see it on the Today tab of the Wahoo App, in SYSTM and on the Wahoo Apple Watch app, including new watch face complications.

  • How to get started: Open the Wahoo App and look for My Readiness under Training insights on the Today tab. Tap it for the full breakdown, and use the date at the top to look back at any day.

Connect Oura

  • What is it? Connect Oura and Wahoo will pull in your sleep, HRV, resting heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature and SpO2 every night to calculate your Recovery Response. We bring in up to 90 days of history so your scores are calibrated from day one. If you’re new to Oura, give it about a week of nights and you’ll see a Calibrating label until then.

  • How to get started: Go to Settings > Authorized Apps and tap Oura, or tap the gear on My Readiness. Don’t see your wearable? Use “Request it” at the bottom of that page and tell us which one you want next.

What’s free: Your readiness state, Recovery Response, sleep, HRV and resting heart rate are free for everyone, today and historically. Training Capacity and Mental Capacity details are part of CORE.

Ride on, Wahooligans.

Awesome to see this! Hoping to see some further integrations down the road to make this more brand-agnostic when it comes to recovery tracking. Maybe the Apple health tie in that looks like it’s coming soon can help be that bridge. The challenge there is getting other brands to port all their data into Apple health.

If recovery response would work also with smart watch like Coros it would be nice. Otherwise it seems forcing to have Oura or a useless dashboard..

Great! Now also for Whoop please, given Zwift have done it already…

According to DCRainmaker, both Coros and apple health will connect come November 17th. I’m not a big fan of either of those platforms though so hoping this spreads to some other options down the line.

I think the Apple Health kit as a bridge will likely come sooner than porting in a lot of other individual companies.

No integration of Apple Health, where all the data comes together, no integration with Garmin watches, but with a ring that nobody uses. But 18€ per month.

Read my post two posts above, apple health coming on November 17th

On the pricing point, Helga’s announcement above says the readiness state, Recovery Response, sleep, HRV and resting heart rate are free, including historical data. It says the detailed Training Capacity and Mental Capacity views are part of CORE. That distinction doesn’t solve the Garmin or Apple Health integration issue, though.
