But like with any platforms, people are having all kinds of issues. Most of the time people don’t read the system requirements page / supported equipment. Searching or scrolling down the MyWhoosh Facebook page also seems beyond their capabilities, as the same questions show up tens of times when a new release is out etc.

I don't/won't use Facebook so that is out for me!

I will go back to the app every now and then until it lets me in or I get fed up of trying.

That looked good!

Do you have a low maximum heart rate? You were doing about 50 W more than I could manage for 10 minutes and breathing like that. My heart rate would be 10 bpm higher than yours and it is 30+ bpm lower than it would have been when I was younger so I thought that mine was pretty low.

I have only started looking at HR and power data out on the road recently and find that data very interesting. I had assumed that I defaulted to a particular power level as I cycled along but it turns out that I am often subconsciously increasing and decreasing my power output to try to keep my cadence constant with ups and downs in the road and varying wind conditions. I see my heart rate and power going up for no apparent reason but then I realise that I am on a false flat which actually rises at, say, 1%. I am surprised how much difference that gradient makes.


I am heading off upstairs now to install it on my Apple TV box so I can check it out. Free is an excellent price!

@Norry1... It looks like my post left you speechless! (You quoted me without adding anything.)

I reported the remote URL watching bug to MyWhoosh and got an email back saying that they know about the bug and are working on a fix.

Yes, both I and 2 others reported it a few hours after the 4.0 release.

Ah yes ....

My HR is low - my absolute max when very fresh is 161W and I normally top out at around 157/8.

It used to concern me until I read that Chris Froome has a very low HR ✅

Do TPV or MyWhoosh have any big climbs equivalent to AdZ? That is something that I could imagine tackling once every couple of months but paying a Zwift subscription just for that would be a bit much.

Zwift has Ventop - Ventoux homage. Easy 2 hours at Z2

I am interested in that climb too (which would probably take me much longer than 2 hours!) but I was wondering about climbing on TPV and MyW. Climbs that would take around an hour at 3W/kg?

Check out https://mywhooshinfo.com/routes/worlds where you can find the routes with the climbing distance / HM you want. Start by doing the Endurance Climb - that should keep you occupied for a few hours.

Oh, wow - no shortage of climbing there!!!

I hope they sort that bug out soon so I can see how well my Apple TV 4k works with MyWhoosh.

What bug? You should be able to ride just fine.

You are forgetting the small matter of me not yet having got my turbo trainer!

That should (fingers crossed!) be arriving in the next week or so, but in the meantime I'd like to be able to do what I can in TPV and Zwift - sit in on other people's action.

Yes, I did think about after I posted, but your ATV’s performance is irrelevant before you have the trainer anyway.
MW will fix some bugs and release an update next week, so most likely also the “Watch” bug.

I have 2 road bikes that need repairing so they will keep me busy for a few days anyway!

MW 4.0.1 has been released today, and the Watch bug is fixed.
