Recently, Zwift adjusted the algorithm for awarding XP while on structured workouts. Most scenarios award fairly, granting XP based on time and intensity. But long blocks and “free rides” — used often for very difficult as well as cool-down/rest blocks — are an edge case. As a user it is very frustrating to get the same 90 XP for 10 minutes @ 50% FTP and a 15 minute block @ 75% FTP. Likewise, for workouts that use “free ride” for a max effort, I receive no XP benefit for pushing my power to the max, receiving the same XP for a minute at 450 watts as I would for 75 watts or 750. I expect the algorithm to be better. Or the plan workouts to be redesigned to break up big ramps and sustained efforts into smaller chunks that fall under the XP ceiling.
