New Sufferfest?!
NOTE: I’m in no way hired by Wahoo and Sufferfest, nor is this a paid advertisement. I have been a user of this application for over a year. I pay my own subscription and this is just my decision and my opinnion. I decided to use Sufferfest after an extensive test of almost all applications for smart trainers that exist on the market. In addition to Sufferfest (Wahoo SYSTM), I occasionally use RGT and Zwift for day-off and free ride simulations.
A few days ago, Sufferfest published a new version of its indoor training application for cyclists. In addition to the change of image and style, the new application also underwent a complete change of name. The new app is called Wahoo SYSTM!
What immediately caught my eye was that Sufferfest is hardly mentioned anymore. The site is no longer at sufferfest.com and there is no mention of this brand on it. It seems to me that this is an intermediate step towards the complete loss of Sufferfest as a movement and Sufferlandia as a fictional country in which we have suffered in previous years.
Even their patented Sufferfest Full Frontal 4D fitness test is now called Wahoo Full Frontal ... I’m not saying this is a bad change but I will definitely miss Sufferlandia and her wacky sense of humor.
What is definitely a positive change is making a training plan. Now the options for making a plan are much more extensive. It is possible to plan and adjust the training plan, current physical fitness and all other important parameters in more detail.
Another positive change is the application that now exists for almost all platforms from Windows, MacOS, Apple iOS applications to the long-awaited Android version
The library of available trainings has been significantly expanded and I can't wait to try some of them, such as a week of driving with Ian Boswell and ProRides - rides created by recording real rides in Pro Peloton.
The application while driving looks identical to the previous one. There are all those good things that are extremely comfortable. You can turn off video or sound and that you can do independently for music and for alerts on a new training section. You can reduce the player and watch a movie on Netflix while you drive a boring 2 hours of recovery. The power smoothing is still configurable according to your preferences and wishes etc. The application is still top notch in this regard and can be adapted to all needs and desires.
I still haven't tried much in the new app. As I discover its pros and cons, I will keep you informed. If you have something to add on the topic of smart trainers and applications for their control, feel free to link your text in the comments.
