While you could get away with just a speed sensor and riding based on RPE, an inexpensive heart rate monitor will give you useful insight into your fitness. While all Wahoo SYSTM workouts also have heart rate and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) targets, at a bare minimum, we’d recommend you ride with a wheel speed sensor and a heart rate monitor. The data won’t be as accurate as with a real power meter or smart trainer, however. If you don’t have a power meter, SYSTM can calculate virtual power on most non-smart turbo trainers, if you pair a wheel speed sensor with the app. If you don’t have a smart trainer, a ‘dumb’ trainer paired with a heart rate monitor, a power meter, a wheel speed sensor and a cadence sensor will also suffice. Wahoo has an online tool to check device compatibility if you want to be sure. Alternatively, you can get an ANT+ USB dongle and use that.
Goldencheetah event Bluetooth#
If your measurement device is Bluetooth compatible, you should be able to connect it to your computer, tablet or smartphone via that. If you don’t have a Wahoo device, most ANT+ or Bluetooth-compatible smart trainers will also work. OTOH if you want the new Stryd's RSS the formula would be slightly different.

If you don’t have a smart trainer, a power meter or heart rate monitor will also help you get started. Hi Ron, if you want TSS for running workouts with power -even when it is defined only for cycling- you can define a Custom Metric using the formula 100 (Duration/3600) IF2 as value. Wahoo SYSTM uses the brand’s own Four Dimensional Power (4DP) profile (a more sophisticated version of Functional Threshold Power, which has more in common with Critical Power), to create plans and workouts bespoke to an individual’s fitness that address their strengths and weaknesses. Or, you can pick and choose workouts as you go along. Instead of creating a virtual world in the vein of Zwift and RGT Cycling, Wahoo SYSTM makes you a training schedule from a plethora of workouts and content, and then helps you complete it. Wahoo SYSTM contains The Sufferfest – which Wahoo acquired in 2019 – and in keeping with that spartan training tool, dispenses with some of the bells and whistles of its rivals.
Goldencheetah event archive#
The app combines a large archive of interval-based cycling workouts with strength work, yoga and mental training in order to improve your on- and off-bike fitness. Wahoo SYSTM is an all-encompassing training app that can be downloaded on iOS, Android, macOS and Windows. Wahoo SYSTM has something for a range of athletes and cross-training for cyclists.
