WAHOO SUGGESTED PAGES

Written By David Sommerville
 

We developed a comprehensive series of screens tailored for your Wahoo computer, designed to optimize your training experience. Each screen presents key information that will assist you in monitoring your performance metrics effectively.

These pages include real-time data on heart rate, power output, cadence, and speed, ensuring you stay informed throughout your sessions. By prioritizing the most relevant statistics, we aim to enhance your focus and facilitate goal achievement during each workout.

Whether you're in a structured training plan or engaging in casual rides, these screens will provide valuable insights to track your progress and make informed decisions about your training intensity and recovery.
