Training
It is possible to program your own training. Choose for a slope- power- or heart rate -based training. In each category you can choose for time or distance. This means you can make routes (up to 99), based on time or distance. For example, in a slope based training, you can make a route of 2 km and slope + 5. So you can make up to 99 routes with different slope / power / heart rate and different distance / duration.

- Slope (between –5% and +20%)
     - Time (between 10 seconds and 60 minutes)
     - Distance (between 0,1 km and 99,9 km)
