We’re excited to roll out a brand-new workout! Join Mike Cotty on one of his favorite local roads up the iconic Col de Vence. As you tackle the mixed terrain, the workout uses targeted intervals to isolate all four dimensions of your 4DP profile:
Moving beyond standard metrics like TSS, this session demonstrates how different intensities, cadences, and power spikes contribute to the true “full cost” of a ride.
You’ll feel firsthand how a low-cadence, high-torque grind taxes your physiological systems differently than a high-velocity spin, and how quickly micro-sprints fill up your load meters. Ride along and watch your DTL accumulator bars update on screen as you push through each segment.
Why Ride It?
By the end of the session, you’ll have a much deeper understanding of your Wahoo Analytics. You’ll learn how to interpret your own post-ride data, pinpoint exactly which physiological systems you’re developing, target your personal limiters, and structure your training to build a more complete, resilient engine.
Is this similar in content (video, sir Mike encouraging the rider, etc) to the OL videos? I note that it is in the “Wahoo Fitness” category. I enjoy many of the OL videos. The WF are mostly dogs so I don’t try them when they come out. Contrast many of the OL videos where the camera angles change throughout the ride and MC encourages you to SBT gravel where a single drone follows a rider who doesn’t say anything. That was a “one and never again.”
I gave it a try this morning and I enjoyed it. It’s not gonna make it to my list of faves (which are all SUF workouts), but I won’t be disappointed if it shows up on my program in the future.
Finally did this today. Decent workout actually, bit like a mini Full Monty.
I have been training with DTL for a while but did find this very interesting and informative about how various intensities and cadences contribute to the different components, particularly around MAP and NM contributors.
Useful for anyone looking to really understand their own rider profile and how to become more rounded or, alternatively, specialised.
Did this before work this morning - it’s a good workout!
Now I HOPE that a dynamic DTL overlay could be part of a SYSTM player update?
Pretty please?
Would be a handy way of seeing training focus accumulate in real time, particularly as Mike points out how cumulative time at FTP/MAP feeds into other areas which isn’t apparent from the ride power chart, with more confusion if one plays with the bias.
I know it’s available to review in the Wahoo app (but not SYSTM), but I don’t want to spend time looking at that when I can watch the training bars during the ride (And this could be really nice for the no-vids, as a user selectable on/off layer!)
I’ll flag a few typos and nitpicks in the other thread…
