Syncing Wahoo bike rides to the race s?
-
@0b_en The last time I used Rungap the imported activities in Suunto App had the default HR zones, not the zones I setup in the watch. I guess this is also the case for pace and power zones. I am not sure if this has changed in the last few months. Wrong zones means wrong training load.
-
@wmichi That sounds bad! As load and TSS are one of the main reason for me to get the watch, combined with HRV and HR …
-
So this means basically that the Race is kind of useless if one of the sports you’re doing is cycling and you’re using any other head unit than the Karoo …
This seems to be quite a common use case tbh. I never saw any other cyclist using just a watch instead of a head unit for training. And I assume Karoo‘s market share is relatively small compared to Wahoo or even Garmin. Although, Garmin users would want to use a Garmin watch probably. This leaves just us Wahoo users uncovered - missed chance for Suunto, as Wahoo announced they will discontinue their Rival watch.
Bummer. The Race seemed to be such a nice watch.
-
@0b_en I can say that Runalyze uploads the activity as-is from Wahoo into the Suunto ecosystem. This means that it uses the TSS the Wahoo produced for everything. Works perfectly fine.
-
@0b_en If you know the TSS value, you could edit it manually after importing.
-
@jcolp What about the zones? Are they also correct for the imported activity? And are the activities tagged correctly by Suunto Coach?
-
@wmichi It seems like they’re tagged correctly by Suunto Coach. HR zones on the activity I don’t pay attention to. I just live in a power world for that based on TSS. I think Karoo honestly works the same way when it comes to uploading.
-
@jcolp So seems that I have to try runalyze. Took a quick look at it, seems quite complex when it comes to configuration
Does it sync automatically?
Updating TSS manually for each ride would be too cumbersome - and the Suunto app even doesn‘t let me do that.
I‘ve synced rides with RunGap, and the Suunto app shows either TSS(hr) or TSS(MET) - although power data for every ride is available. How comes that?
And how can I even set the power zones? That only works via the watch, right?

@0b_en: I had the the same issue and ended up with syncing single FIT files. Therefore go to ‘Activitiy-Synchronisation’ and then click on the icon ‘Upload a FIT file to Suunto’. You need to be connected to Suunto.

@0b_en IMHO, the easiest solution is simply to record your ride with the Suunto watch in addition to recording with your Wahoo Elemnt.
This is what I do. One additional benefit is that you have a backup recording if either the Suunto recording or Elemnt recording fails. My Elemnt actually ran out of battery on yesterday’s ride but then had the Suunto recording/fit file as backup for other platforms.
-
@Mads-Hintz-Madsen That exactly what I do. Pretty simple solution.
I upload both to Strava as automatically private. Then delete one.But I only use the wahoo on longer rides when I want navigation and also rotation notifications every 5k. Most rides I only use the Vertical.
And a big advantage of using the Vertical is you can add waypoints sob can mark stops, controls cafés etc.

@0b_en you can set auto import or keep it manual into rungap - I am not sure
if you can auto push them to the other services -
I’m new with the race S coming from an ambit 3 peak and I’m wondering the same thing but I’m on android so no rungap. What would be the best way to sync it to suunto app ? Especially interested to have the load from cycling showing up

Since Wahoo is no longer really supporting their watch, it might help to submit a request to Wahoo, either through their forums or support, for Suunto synchronization.
