The Numbers Behind The West Highland Way FKT

To celebrate my West Highland Way Record Attempt film, in association with Wahoo and Santa Cruz Bicycles, breaking 100,000 views on Youtube, I thought I'd share a closer look at the data behind my ride with you. My Strava file has been public since the 3rd of December when the film was released, but I thought I'd delve deeper into the numbers. In this blog, I'll share my TrainingPeaks activity with you, as well as insight on the INSCYD test data on which I based my training and pacing strategy.

Ride Data

To get us started, let's have a look at the raw numbers from the ride. All of the data from the ride was recorded on my Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM, SRAM XX1 Eagle Quarq power meter, and Wahoo TICKR heart rate monitor.
