Edge training

You need a motivation to complete the last few kilometres on the reels during your indoor training? Edge 520 offers this innovative function when bound with ANT + Protocol. For example, if I wanted to train with an average power of 240 Watts, simply set the goal to Edge 520, start pedalling and the rollers adjust automatically depending on your goal. You can also follow a path created by another cyclist and download it from Garmin Connect, competing virtually against the athlete with which you want to compare yourself, because the rollers adjust pedaling strength according to the slope and altimetry data downloaded.

Associated with a power sensor, Edge 520 will offer you another set of functions, such as FTP detection threshold power and Watts/kg, and the dynamics of cycling ². A threshold test of power built into the tool will help you establish your reference data to keep during your workout on reels or on the road. Associates the heart rate monitor ³ and 520 will calculate accordingly the esteem of your VO2 max and recovery time post-race, which indicates how long to wait before you can tackle a more challenging endeavor.
