# Rowing Mode Arrives

For the first time, MyWhoosh officially expands into rowing with the launch of Rowing Mode. This marks an important step in MyWhoosh’s evolution into a true multi-sport indoor training platform.

• Concept2 support at launch - one of the most widely used indoor rowing platforms is supported from day one, ensuring accurate performance data and broad accessibility.

# Custom Running Workout Builder

Runners get a major upgrade in 5.6.0 with the introduction of the Custom Running Workout Builder.

• Structured interval workouts - Create workouts with defined intervals, recovery phases, and progression.

This brings running much closer to the level of sophistication cyclists already enjoy in structured training tools.

# Required HRM for selected events

Competitive integrity remains a core focus of MyWhoosh, and version 5.6.0 delivers meaningful upgrades under the Fair Play Improvements umbrella. For me, this is the most important feature added in this update.

Selected events now support:

• Required active heart rate monitoring - All riders must have HRM connected upon joining the event. Brief signal drops are tolerated, but prolonged disconnections are penalized.

# Category-Specific Policing

Previously, drone police values applied to the entire event. This meant that there were multiple events per category and you would join the event only for your designated category. From this update on, one event can now contain multiple categories, each with its own policing values.

This means that races like CEL or MyWhoosh February mission could have all category mass start and drone police enabled per category!

# Custom workouts limitations

This update also brought a limit to the number of custom workouts that you can create. By default, you will have 10 slots = 10 custom workouts available. In order to create 11th and more workouts, you will have to pay for subscriptions. There are three different plans with different number of "workout slots". But you can just keep deleting the workouts that you have completed before adding a new one and you will never run out of slots.
