Training Load
How much each ride adds to your training.
Wahoo on the bars, Garmin on the wrist
Ride with Wahoo. Train with Garmin.
Every ride from your Wahoo ELEMNT lands in Garmin Connect by itself and counts towards your Training Load, Recovery Time and VO2 max.
No card needed. Set-up takes about five minutes.
Set it up once, then just ride
Wahoo sends each ride to your Dropbox. We pick it up and upload it to your Garmin account.

Your rides count in Garmin again
Garmin works these out from your ride's heart rate and power.

Aerobic and anaerobic effect of a ride, with its primary benefit.
VO2 max
Your cycling fitness estimate, from rides with heart rate and power.
Recovery Time
How long to rest before the next hard session.
Training Status
Whether your training is productive, maintaining or overreaching.
Acute Load
Your recent load, compared with your usual range.
Load Focus
The balance between low aerobic, high aerobic and anaerobic work.
Training Readiness
Whether today is a good day to go hard.
Laps and intervals
Your laps come across too. A workout from your ELEMNT shows up as intervals, with warm-up, work, recovery and cool-down.
Which metrics you see depends on your Garmin devices.

Questions
Is this an official Garmin or Wahoo service?
No. sync2garmin is independent. It uploads rides to your Garmin account the same way as the Import Data button on connect.garmin.com. Garmin, Wahoo or Dropbox can change their services at any time, so the sync can stop working, and we may switch it off.
Do you store my Garmin password?
No. You type it once, our server uses it to sign in to Garmin, and it is gone. We keep only Garmin's access token, encrypted. You can disconnect at any time.
Why must I sign up with my Garmin e-mail?
Your sync2garmin login and your Garmin login are the same address. That is how we know which Garmin account a ride belongs to.
Do you keep my ride files?
No. Each file is processed in memory and never saved. We keep only a short record of each ride, such as its date, Wahoo profile and upload status. Your files in Dropbox stay untouched.
Why does Dropbox ask for access to my files?
Wahoo's folder belongs to Wahoo's own Dropbox app, so we have to ask for read access to your Dropbox. We open only the Wahoo folder and we can't change or delete anything.
Will my old rides be uploaded?
No. Only rides that reach Dropbox after you connect it.
Which Wahoo computers work?
ELEMNT computers that upload to Dropbox through the ELEMNT Companion app. We test with the ELEMNT ACE.
