I recently noticed that if you adjust your FTP to modify the difficulty of a workout, it
overwrites your FTP everywhere in Zwift, and your actual tested FTP isn’t saved anywhere !!!
Seriously!?!? Please tell me I’m just stupid, and missing something!!
I’ve heard that if you don’t do an FTP test, Zwift uses 95% of your best 20 min average as an estimate FTP. While not perfect, that figure has value, as an actual, measured indicator of your max performance. ATBE, this figure will increase over time, providing both an estimate of your actual FTP, and useful reference for workouts to be able to adjust difficulty against.
If you don’t feel great one day, and want to dial it back for a workout, this measured FTP should (must ?!) still be saved in your profile. I mean… obviously???
I feel like this is such a glaring error, and so silly I must be missing something, but from what I’ve found, FTP is displayed in 3 places, and when you adjust it, it changes in all 3 places. I can’t find my actual / measured / estimated FTP anywhere.
I then did an FTP test, thinking “Well, maybe it didn’t save because it’s just an ‘estimated’ FTP. Maybe it doesn’t save until it’s a real one, from a test.”
Same thing. Adjusted in 1 place, changes in all 3 places displayed.
So I’m using a digitally controlled trainer to do online virtual racing against opponents all over the world, and I got my FTP written down on a scrap of paper over here like it’s 1862!!
Please help!!! Really hoping someone says “Uhhhh, idiot. It’s in _____ box, on _____ screen.”
Ride On!
