I would love to see zwift add average power to all interval segments when doing a workout. Especially helpful when doing a workout off ERG mode. Similar to what is provided in the ramp test where average is displayed as you ride each 1min segment. I coach a group of athletes and frequently have them do repeated intervals off ERG, but they don’t know what they average and could help them determine their repeatable power.
I’m not sure that is a feature that all Zwift users would want universally, but you can add average power to any custom workout segment. Just Google “how to add average power to a Zwift workout.”
Thank you Mike for the tip. GP Lama created a video on how to add this from the text file, so that is the shortcut I can use for now. Mostly interested for off ERG segments, like repeat 4min VO2 max intervals where I want my athletes to hit an approximate target, but they have the ability to find their repeatable power.
Hi Rick. I have been looking for the same feature and came across this which worked for me. Google zwofactory.
You will need to make your own Custom Workout but it’s very straight forward.
I needed to do 1.5hrs within a certain zone but didn’t want to just maintain a specific wattage so I set the interval up as a Free Ride and added the “Show average power during the selected segment” and it did exactly that.
It did make it mildly more interesting trying to keep the average where it needed to be.
You might want to experiment with 1 & 3 sec power readings in settings.
Not sure how useful this will be on very short Intervals but worth a look.
tl;dr - Add an option to display average watts for each interval segment/lap
Indoor training season is approaching, and there’s a critical feature missing from Zwift workouts: the ability to see average power for individual interval segments.
Currently, there is the show_avg=1 workaround, but that only works for single blocks, if I apply it to the IntervalsT as shown below, I’ll get the average for the entire interval, and that’s not very helpful.
<IntervalsT Repeat="5" OnDuration="45.000004" OffDuration="135" OnPower="1.1799999" OffPower="0.82999998" pace="0"/>
Another example is the workout below. I really want to know my average power for each block. Most bike computers already track lap power automatically, but having to run a separate device while on Zwift feels redundant, especially when this data likely already exists in the system but isn’t displayed.
The request: Please add a display option (similar to show_avg=1) that shows average power for each lap/segment within interval blocks, not just the cumulative average.
You’re the 25,679th person to ask for this. Good luck getting yourself heard!
That’s a shame, it seems all the data is there. Guess I’ll do workouts on TP Virtual
Would be nice if we could see the current and previous interval average power (similar to how it is shown on some climbs), so it’s easier to adjust power accordingly
If you’re on ERG, no reason to show it as the average is the interval power.
I don’t do my intervals in erg anymore but even if I still did my workouts are in a range (+/-5%)
So you’re using a free ride mode? Or a standard ride where you have specific interval targets? During rides you can define laps with the companion app, and that shows the average power. Workouts are best done in ERG mode, to be honest, not sure why you would not use it.
Some workouts should really never be done in erg mode (eg short/short) but I find erg mind numbingly boring and the skill of holding steady power not carry over so I do all my workouts in resistance mode. I wish sim mode was available for workouts, that would add even more realism and mental engagement ….
You can try this, but it requires editing the .zwo file.
You can show the average power for the current interval by adding show_avg=“1” to the interval definition.
Example:
<SteadyState Duration="600" Power="0.30" show_avg="1">
It is. Just start up a free ride (as if you were riding outdoors) do a warm up (as if etc) and do some intervals (as if etc)
But then you don’t get the arches nor xp for intervals….
Intervals in workouts have always triggered a “lap” in the .fit file. We now also have a HUD option to display it. I haven’t done a workout recently, can you not display the splits in a workout? And if not, the question is why?
BTW, it would also be great if the “splits” function worked in TTTs.
Arches smarches …
… and if your route isn’t ridiculously steep you probably make more XP via distance in free ride than you do via intervals in workout mode.
And you get to feel the road. And you can do hill repeats.
The arches motivate me
No, unfortunately, and I have the same question, why. The HUD is very useful e.g. to display L/R balance. That’s a feature I’d like to have - please upvote my request 
If you give a link and update my requests…..
