Hey Wahoo Community,

We’ve all seen it happen: you take a well-earned rest day or taper before a big event, only for standard fitness metrics to “punish” you by tanking your fitness score the moment you step off the gas.

Check out our latest video on how we’re fixing broken training metrics:

In this video, discover how Wahoo solves this with two game-changing metrics: Training Capacity and Fitness Score. Learn how Training Capacity pairs your recent workload with mental check-ins to measure real-time daily readiness, and see how Fitness Score actually accounts for recovery so your stats rise as your body adapts for peak race-day performance.

Now that you’ve experienced Training Capacity & Fitness Score, how have these metrics changed the way you approach rest days and track your race-day readiness?
