Wahoo app insights and metrics

Elemnt Bolt

I just got a new Bolt that uses the Wahoo app. After my ride today I was exploring the app and came upon the fitness, training capacity, dimensional training load, etc. metrics and explanation - several of which required me to do something in the app (do a mental reaction test, rate my effort, etc.).

Historically I’ve just let Wahoo send all my data to Strava and have kept an eye on fitness status and metrics in Strava. My current approach is to send all my fitness data to Apple Health and let that evaluate changes over time.

I’m not a fitness expert, so I find it useful if an app can tell me over time if my fitness is improving or if there are changes I could make for a more holistic fitness plan.

Have any of you committed to regularly doing the Wahoo ratings and assessments consistently enough to have an opinion on how useful they are? Especially compared to Strava? I only have the Strava free plan, but have considered trying the premium version.

Curious for input on this.
