MyWhoosh, the free-to-use virtual cycling and training platform, is rolling out its ‘biggest update yet’ in its latest version, MyWhoosh 4.0.
Version 4.0 introduces new features such custom workout creator, dynamic road creation and classic trainer compatibility, along with its virtual gear shifting system – MyShift.
Key features of v4.0 include:
- Custom Workout Creator: The new MyWhoosh Workout Editor allows users to design, import, and manage their own workouts. By logging into workout creator through the MyWhoosh website, users can tailor training sessions to meet their specific needs and access them on the MyWhoosh app under the ‘My Workout’ section.
Users can also import workouts from other platforms into MyWhoosh and export their MyWhoosh workouts to share with friends and coaches.
- Training Plans for SRC & Triathlon: MyWhoosh is making structured training more accessible with new beginner-friendly plans for the MyWhoosh Sunday Race Club (SRC) and triathlon training. These plans are designed to help new riders and triathletes build confidence and endurance, with progress through a structured program.
- Structured Running Workouts: MyWhoosh is expanding its training ecosystem with structured running workouts. Whether users are training for their first 5K or fine-tuning their endurance, these sessions cater to all levels. New running workouts will continue to be added in the coming weeks, providing variety and progression to runners.
- MyShift Virtual Gear Shifting: A new feature allowing seamless gear changes directly within the platform and through the MyWhoosh Link app, this eliminates the need for mechanical cassettes and derailleurs.
