hi all, since a couple of weeks it seems like the pre workout, when you selected one, you are not able to update your ftp anymore? before you could easily slide your ftp level before any workout, now it looks like its fixed and can only be update on your profile…

These work arrounds don’t work anymore. Selecting plans does not bring the old UI anymore. Why is it so hard to adjust FTP from a workout. The difficulty between each workout is absolutely not consistent, keeping the same FTP is not possible. Please fix this or provide a workaround. I need to see the wattage update in real time as I change my FTP, you know, like it was for the first 10 years of zwift…

As a work around you can use the ± buttons in the companion app, or screen UX to boost or lower the workout as soon as you join the world. Since it goes ±25% it has a pretty wide range. I set my FTP a bit lower than it probably should be so I’ve been just boosting my workouts when I get in and it’s working ok for me.

That said, in general I find if my FTP is set correctly I tend to find most workouts are ones I can get through, though I definitely have ones I dislike more than others at the same FTP 🙂
