The Live HUD

The Live HUD is your real-time cockpit for a ride that's actually happening. Driven over a live WebSocket connection, it shows your numbers as they change and guides you through the workout step by step.

Live telemetry#

The HUD streams the metrics that matter while you ride, updating in real time:

• Power — your current output, shown alongside its percentage of your FTP so you know how hard you're working.
• Heart rate — your current heart rate, with its training zone.
• Cadence — your pedalling or stride rate.
• Speed — how fast you're moving.

To make the FTP percentage and heart-rate zones meaningful, keep your metrics up to date in your athlete profile, and brush up on the terms in the training science glossary.

Timers#

Two clocks keep you oriented:

• Elapsed time — how long you've been riding.
• Current-interval countdown — how long is left in the interval you're in right now.

Workout guidance#

The HUD doesn't just show numbers — it tells you what to do. As you ride a structured session it surfaces:

• The current interval's name and target, so you know what you're aiming for.
• A progress bar through the session.
• A preview of the upcoming intervals, so nothing takes you by surprise.

Route map#

A route map shows your position along the route as you go, giving you a sense of where you are and what's ahead.

Ride controls#

You stay in charge throughout. The HUD's controls let you:

• Pause and resume the ride.
• Skip the current interval.
• End the ride when you're done.

Hands-off connection#

The HUD is built to stay out of your way. It keeps the screen awake so the display never times out mid-effort, and it connects and disconnects automatically as you enter and leave a ride — there's nothing to switch on or off by hand.

Where it fits#

The Live HUD is the screen you watch while riding in Shift. With telemetry, guidance, a map and controls all in one place, it's everything you need to ride a structured session in real time.
