It works by giving you a Load Focus which is the impact your activity has on your body. This means the Edge 1040 can tell you what you need to focus on and then what workout to do to achieve it. It even takes runs into consideration if you like to mix things up and even your sleep quality if you use one of Garmin’s compatible wearables.
One of the downsides of indoor riding can be that you’re sat stationary, but the Neo 2 can be mounted to these Motion Plates to enhance and give real road feel with multi-directional movement. So, maximising your fitness has become a huge amount easier. Using kit like the Tacx Neo 2T and the Garmin Edge 1040 will allow you to train really efficiently whether you’re inside or outside.
