Syncing Wahoo bike rides to the race s?
-
@0b_en I’ll be honest, I’ve never looked at past activities on a watch except directly after doing an activity if I don’t have my phone on me - it seems pointlessly small compared to how much easier it is on the phone. Personal thought mind.
Importing wise depends on what OS version you run - Android would be something like SyncMyTracks, iOS is Rungap or you can push activities across in Runanalzye, but only one at a time.
-
Agreed. Can get activities to the app but not the watch. I also do not look at data on the watch once the current activity is recorded and saved. Also keep in mind that the watch memory is limited and over time activities will drop off to make room for new ones. I use iOS and RunGap and can pull/push activities from/to many sources.

Okay, get it - not syncing to the watch seems to be no problem. Think I agree. As long as all other stats are okay.
Concerning RunGap: Does it sync in the background, or do you have to do something?
-
@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.

@larrybbaker said in Syncing Wahoo bike rides to the race s?:

I’ve used RunGap for several years but have noticed the past year or so that activities from other sources (Wahoo, in particular) are no longer pushing to Suunto version 2.38.1.
Did I miss anything in RunGap or is the beta version of Suunto the issue? As I’ve switched back to using a Wahoo bike computer (and SYSTM & Zwif workouts, too), I’d like to have everything go to Suunto instead of a 3rd party interface like Strava or TrainingPeaks, both of which leave much to be desired in terms of UI & just personal preference.

@off242 just used it yesterday with no issues.
