New MyWhoosh Smart Workout Selector

Not sure what session to choose? Meet the new MyWhoosh Smart Workout Selector

You’ve got time to ride, but no plan, your legs feel somewhere between fresh and questionable, and scrolling through a full workout library isn’t how you want to spend the next ten minutes. That’s exactly where the new Mywhoosh Smart Workout Selector comes in. Tell it what you want from your ride, how much time you have and how you’re feeling, and it will narrow the MyWhoosh workout library down to three sessions that make sense for you.

No more digging through endless workouts. Just a quicker path from “What should I ride?” to actually turning the pedals.

Where to find it

Open the workout menu in MyWhoosh and select Smart Workout Selector. You’ll find it alongside Favorite Workouts, Workout Categories, All Workouts, Video Workouts and the Workout Creator.

It gives you another way into the MyWhoosh workout library rather than replacing the tools you already use.

Tell it how today feels for you

The selector starts with a few things that can change from one ride to the next.

You’ll be asked about:

Recovery: how recovered you feel overall
Sleep: how well you slept the night before
Muscle soreness: how your legs specifically are feeling
Available time: how long you have to ride today

Recovery, sleep and soreness are kept separate for a reason. You might have slept brilliantly but still feel yesterday’s intervals in your legs. Those answers help the selector build a better picture of what kind of session could suit your day.

Choose what you want to work on

Next, you will select your Training Focus.

You can select from:

Maintain Fitness
Build Fitness
Climbing
Racing
Sprint Power
Endurance

Your choice steers the selector towards workouts that match what you want from the session. Choose Climbing and you’re more likely to see workouts built around sustained efforts. Pick Racing and the selector can favor sessions with harder changes in intensity, while Sprint Power shifts the focus towards shorter, sharper efforts. Remember, Smart Workout Selector is there to guide a recommendation, not lock you into one type of workout.

Match the workout to your experience

Your Training Experience helps the selector understand how familiar you are with structured training.

Choose from:

Beginner
Developing
Intermediate
Experienced
Advanced

This isn’t a ranking of how fit you are, a strong rider who is new to structured workouts may still choose Beginner or Developing. An experienced rider is simply more accustomed to repeated efforts, changing targets and more demanding workout formats. The selector uses the information to help match the complexity of the session to you.

Choose how hard you want to ride

Some days call for something steady, others are made for a proper session. As a result the Workout Effort section lets you tell the selector how challenging you want today’s ride to be:

Easy: a lighter, lower-demand session
Productive: a useful training stimulus without going all-out
Hard: a demanding session when you’re ready to work
Max: the upper end of your suitable range

Your effort choice works alongside the rest of your answers. Asking for a hard workout doesn’t mean the selector ignores how you’re feeling that day.

Set your time

Thirty minutes before work? An hour between meetings? A full 90-minute session? Choose from 30, 45, 60, 75 or 90 minutes, and the selector will keep its recommendations within the time you have available. The best workout is not much use if you don’t have time to finish it.

How you’re feeling matters

We know training numbers don’t always tell the whole story. You might have slept badly, still feel the last ride in your legs or simply know today isn’t the day to push hard. Your recovery, sleep and soreness answers help the Smart Workout Selector account for that when building its recommendations. Where enough recent MyWhoosh training history is available, that can also help shape the sessions you see.

How the selector narrows things down

Once you’ve entered your choices, the Smart Workout Selector brings everything together. It looks at your available time, training focus, experience, chosen effort and how you’re feeling, then searches the MyWhoosh workout library for the strongest matches.

Rather than giving you another long list to work through, it returns three workouts to choose from. Each suggestion is designed to fit the information you’ve given, while still giving you enough variety to make the final call yourself.
