Wahoo

Coachbox and Wahoo: structured workouts straight to your ELEMNT

Your workout goes straight to the ELEMNT. No file to download, nothing to import.

What comes into Coachbox

  • Completed activities
  • Your training history

What Coachbox sends to Wahoo

  • Planned workouts

What this connection cannot do

  • Only cycling and running sessions can be sent, indoor or outdoor. Wahoo does not take other sports.
  • Wahoo does not send daily numbers like sleep, resting heart rate or HRV.

Of all the connections, Wahoo has the fewest steps between your plan and your athlete’s bike computer. You send the workout and it shows up in the Workouts menu on the ELEMNT. No file to download, no folder to hunt for, no cable.

What happens when you press send

The session goes to your athlete’s Wahoo account with the intervals intact, including the power, heart rate, cadence and speed targets you set. The Wahoo app on their phone collects it the next time it syncs, and the ELEMNT picks it up from there.

Send the same workout twice and the second one replaces the first, so a plan you edited does not turn into two near-identical sessions on the device.

Let it run by itself

Turn on Automatically submit scheduled workouts and Coachbox stages the next session, up to two days ahead, as soon as you save or change it, with a nightly check as a safety net. Anything planned further out is picked up automatically once it enters that window.

Two limits worth knowing

Wahoo only takes cycling and running, indoor and outdoor. A swim or a gym session cannot go to the device, so it stays in the Coachbox app.

Wahoo also sends no daily numbers. If sleep and resting heart rate matter for that athlete, those come from whichever device you picked as the source for them.

Questions about integrations

How does the workout get onto the bike computer?

Coachbox sends it straight to your athlete's Wahoo account. The Wahoo app on their phone picks it up the next time it syncs, and the workout is waiting in the Workouts menu when the ELEMNT connects.

What happens if I change a workout I already sent?

Coachbox overwrites the version on Wahoo. Your athlete does not end up with two copies.

Why can't I send a swim or a strength session?

Wahoo only takes cycling and running, indoor and outdoor. Everything else stays in the Coachbox app.

Can I still do it by hand with a file?

Yes. Export the workout, connect the device by USB and drop the file into the plans folder. The automatic route is easier, but this one still works.
