Wahoo ELEMNT Display Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While it might seem helpful to have a lot of data displayed on your head unit, too many data fields and training pages can be an overwhelming and unnecessary distraction from your workout. In addition to this, having to move between pages and lock your vision on your head unit poses a risk to your safety when riding outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is why we recommend that athletes who want to take their structured workouts outside build a custom training page that has all the necessary fields in one place. A well-organized custom training page will reduce distraction, without sacrificing the data you need to nail your power based structured workout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside Workouts Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you want to create a custom display for your Wahoo head unit, the Wahoo Elemnt mobile app is the place to start. If you’re new to using a Wahoo head unit or you haven’t used outside workouts before, you’ll need to grant access to your TrainerRoad account in the Wahoo app first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you’ve connected your Wahoo device to this app, and synced your TrainerRoad outside ride<\/a> to this app, you’ll be ready to make your outside workouts display. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Athletes can set up a custom display for their Wahoo ELEMNT head unit in the Wahoo Elemnt mobile app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The fields in this custom training display are set up like the TrainerRoad app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to these fields, the structure of your planned workout will automatically appear at the bottom of the display. So as you progress through your workout you’ll be able to keep an eye on upcoming intervals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The fields included in this custom ELEMNT display deliver necessary and important data for structured interval training. Target Power<\/strong> gives you the power target for your current interval and Average Power<\/strong> gives you a live update on your power. With your Average Power next to Target power, it’s easy to see where your power is and where it needs to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to these values, the next two most important values are Remaining Interval Time<\/strong> and Remaining Workout Time<\/strong>. These data fields give you a count down of the amount of time you have left in your current interval and your workout. This ensures that you can pace correctly for your interval and your workout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally you have heart rate<\/strong> data and cadence<\/strong> data. While neither of these fields are necessary, they can be very helpful for athletes who use either device. You can actively keep an eye on your heart rate if it’s on this display or you can focus on keeping your cadence at a certain RPM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With all the necessary data in one place, you can focus on pushing the pedals and controlling your power. You\u2019ll only need to glance down at your Wahoo to check on your progression and make sure you are on track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This display will improve the productivity of your workouts, and make them safer. When you\u2019re on the road or the trail you should try and minimize the amount of time spent interacting with your head unit. It\u2019s unsafe to lock your gaze with your screen or spend time swiping screens, looking for information. Keep it simple and put everything you need in one place! <\/p>\n\n\n\n A simple training display gives you the data fields needed to keep your workout on track, without the unnecessary distraction that comes with too much data. This display delivers a more focused experience and a safer workout<\/a>.
