Wahoo Fitness has added Four-Dimensional Power (4DP) workouts to its RGT virtual cycling world. According to the company, riders can now experience a new way to complete their workouts, increase their cycling fitness, boost their motivation and make the most out of their rides.
This latest move continues the ongoing development of Wahoo X, which is billed as… ‘the ultimate training membership app for endurance athletes, with innovative functionality for both indoor and outdoor riding.’
Wahoo Fitness’ Four-Dimensional Power (4DP) uses four key power metrics: Neuromuscular Power (NM), Anaerobic Capacity (AC) Maximal Aerobic Power (MAP) and Functional Threshold Power (FTP) to give a full, personalised profile of a rider’s cycling capabilities.
According to Wahoo, using a 4DP profile gives a greater understanding of cycling strengths and weaknesses. By focusing on these key areas, Wahoo’s 4DP training helps optimise training sessions, track progress, and work towards achieving cycling goals and improving cycling performance.
Neal Henderson, Head of Wahoo Sports Science, said “Adding 4DP workouts into RGT opens up the opportunity for more Wahooligans to improve the effectiveness of their workouts and helps us continue to build the better athlete in all of us.
“The Wahoo Sports Science team has spent years developing and expanding the use of 4DP testing and training at our world-class sports science centre in Boulder and we’re excited to see it be available across all Wahoo platforms.”
Wahoo X features tools for both indoor an outdoor riding. A subscription provides access to both SYSTM and RGT, in addition to the ELEMNT BOLT and ROAM bike computers – where workouts are also available.
For those following a training plan in SYSTM, scheduled workouts will be available for use in RGT. All training plans are included as part of the Wahoo-X membership, which offers an extensive workout library to select from. Users can filter this – based on time available or type of training session.
Wahoo X offers workouts and training plans tailored to individual cycling goals. It also provides cross-training workouts and yoga to benefit all-round fitness.
Wahoo RGT is a virtual cycling world where riders can ride virtual routes and cols. It includes ‘ultra realistic drafting’ of other riders and in app ‘Voice Chat’ – connecting riders during indoor virtual rides.
RGT’s newest virtual route, the ‘Dunoon Seafront Circuit’, is based in the Scottish area of Dunoon and complements the previously released ‘Dunoon Crossover’ gravel route.
The new seafront tarmac route takes riders along a virtual representation of coastal paths of the Cowal Peninsula. The route is entirely flat and has primarily been created as a training road – for efforts and chaingangs, made even more engaging using the platform’s steer and voice chat functions.
This latest addition takes RGT’s total ‘Real Road’ library to 14 courses with routes from cycling regions in Belgium, Italy, France, the UK and the USA.
