FTP reset possible?

Bugs and Support
1

Hello all,

I’m fairly new to the Zwift community (started training beginning of March). I use the Wahoo Kickr Snap which is a wheel-on trainer. I was unaware that you’re supposed to calibrate wheel-on trainers before every ride (it’s my own fault for not researching before riding). Anyway, I was riding on an uncalibrated trainer for a bit and my FTP is now a good amount higher than it should be. Is it possible to reset your FTP? If I do the FTP test will it use that number as my FTP if I test lower than what my FTP currently is? I want to do one of the training programs so that’s why I’m asking.

Thank you!
-Brad

You can go to the settings screen and, in the same place you set your name and weight (upper left) you can change your FTP to whatever you think it should be.

Great! Thank you. I’ll do the FTP test then change it to whatever I score on the test. Thanks for the help!

Just set it to 100W, save then do the test. It’ll update for you when you finish.

  1. Open the Zwift application and log in to your account.

  2. On the Zwift startup screen, click on the “Settings” icon in the lower right corner.

  3. In the Settings menu, click on “Power” in the left-hand column.

  4. Click on the “Calibration” button and follow the instructions to calibrate your trainer.

  5. Once your trainer is calibrated, click on the “FTP Test” button.

  6. Follow the instructions to complete the FTP test. The test will determine your current FTP.

  7. After completing the FTP test, Zwift will automatically update your FTP and categorize you based on your new FTP score.

It’s important to note that resetting your FTP may affect the difficulty of your rides and workouts in Zwift, so make sure to adjust your training accordingly.

Another option is just to do “First Workout” I found this out with hilarious consequences (stand up sprinting everywhere)
