For existing Sufferfest users, these videos are pretty similar to ‘Norway’. The professional rider theme is continued in the ProRides segments. This could include yoga sessions, structured workouts and recovery efforts as well as 'behind the scenes' videos that let you know a little more about the rider and their daily life.
#THE LONG DARK TRAINER PRO#
Here you follow a professional cyclist (such as ex-Sky pro Ian Boswell) and their routine. It’s worth noting that these sessions are music-free, with Wahoo opting instead for the sound of Cotty clicking through the gears as the road points up.Īnother new feature on the SYSTM app is ‘A Week With…’. These workouts are still designed by Mike Cotty of the Col Collective think videos of stunning European cols combined with ‘sweetspot’ training and you get the picture. Those familiar with The Sufferfest will recognise the on-location workouts similar in style to ‘To Get To The Other Side’, just a little less brutal. On completion of a session, this is logged in the rider's profile, and an email is sent with a downloadable file which can in turn be uploaded to systems like Training Peaks.Īdditionally there are on-location workouts as well as strength and mental training and more. The traditional bike training sessions - 'Hell Hath No Fury', 'Angels' (3 x 8min climbing/strength) and 'A Very Dark Place' (5 x 4min V02 efforts) - are joined by less physically demanding sets such as 'Elements of Style' which is focused on form and pedal stroke. Currently there are 43 bike training videos, 30 yoga videos targeting specific areas for cyclists, 21 mental training tutorials and four run sessions. Importantly the new SYSTM app includes all The Sufferfest videos (and its unique humor!) and there will continue to be new Sufferfest content on the Wahoo app. What added extras are there on The Wahoo SYSTM app? In ERG mode, a smart trainer used with the app will automatically increase the resistance when required too. The red line at the bottom, which shows what's to come, is accompanied by a green line which shows what you've actually done - and you can see clearly if the two don't match. If you do this, the number at the top right hand corner will show both current output and the goal. If you have a smart turbo trainer, the two can be set up to communicate.

However, the app also uses Bluetooth and ANT+. The training company worked with Apex Cycling coach Neal Henderson to develop the protocol based on his work with pro athletes and the values taken will be applied to intervals so that each effort can be correctly tailored.īoth FTP or the 4DP numbers can be set manually using a power meter and standard turbo. ‘4DP’ is exclusive to The Sufferfest and now to Wahoo SYSTM, and was a year in the making. FTP only tells a small segment of the story. This means your training zones will be set more accurately - since a rider might have a very good FTP but an appalling sprint, and vice versa. One better is completing the '4 Dimensional Power' test - this consists of a five second, one minute, five minute and 20 minute effort - and determines Neuromuscular Power, Anaerobic Capacity, Maximal Aerobic Power and Functional Threshold Power. Enter your magic number, and all intervals will be set based on this - with a number in the top right hand corner telling you what to work towards. The next step up is to use a power meter to complete an FTP test. Hell, you can sit on your sofa and watch the videos without pedalling at all if you really like. You can download the app, fire up and pedal along to the videos using a standard turbo trainer, riding the efforts on perceived exertion.

The Wahoo SYSTM app runs on MacOS, iPhone, and Windows - so you need a Mac, Windows computer, Android phone or iPhone. What do I need to use The Wahoo SYSTM app? However, existing Sufferfest users will be automatically enrolled into SYSTM.

There is also a free 14-day trial available. (Image credit: wahoo) Is The Wahoo SYSTM app free?
