Eldron Posted July 13, 2020 Share Hi Zwifters New to zwift and started a training plan which really keeps me motivated. Surely I must have done a FTP test before I started the plan, but what I want to find out is if it’s possible to do the test even though I started the plan. If I can still do the FTP test, will this have an effect on current plan and will plan be adjusted accordingly? Yes it will. If I remember correctly when you go into your training programme on the menu screen before you start your latest FTP score is somewhere near the bottom right. If you change your FTP manually it will also adjust the programme difficulty. You can even adjust the programme live - there are two tiny buttons under the instruction on the top left when you are training - you can use them to make the power a bit easier or harder by adjusting it 1% per click (there are some limits on how much you can adjust it). agilwolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you should have done an ftp test. You can do one any time and the plan will adjust itself to your ftp agilwolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted August 5, 2020 Share I'm happy to continue with exactly what I have thank you. If the companion app is taken away I lose the HRM functions with the Apple Watch. Seems like they are offering more but also getting a little greedy. EddieV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veebee Posted August 5, 2020 Share i'm happy with the current package, dont need their training plans and the companion app isn't a huge thing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HdB Posted August 5, 2020 Share If the price rises by that much, I'd probably get more picky with which apps I subscribe to. I'm currently paying for Zwift and Rouvy (which has the advantage that you can have more than one family member sharing). Racing on RGT looks more interesting than on Zwift, and apparently there is a big update on the way, so that is one to keep an eye on.

Muttley Posted August 5, 2020 Share Saw this comment on Reddit: I really enjoy Zwift, a lot, but if I end up having to pay that much, I'll dump it for something like Trainer Road just because my money would be better invested in my actual progression of fitness.

Dexter-morgan Posted August 6, 2020 Share I started using my Garmin to do workouts, so easy, load the workout onto garmin calendar, when you switch on the workout downloads to your device and go, I watch youtube while doing the workout, Not sure I will be renewing my Rouvy subscription in 2021.

madmarc Posted August 6, 2020 Share Online cycling and training apps are getting insane, and cyclists are getting caught up like sheeple in the insanity - What happened to the days where we just rode our bikes as hard and as long as our bodies would allow, and then smashed a coffee or a beer with our mates afterwards - ye ye COVID 19 and all that but its temporary ! Where we bitched that a decent bike cost 15 - 20 K but we unload 25K + on a IDT setup in a heartbeat. will we become gamers ? all be it very fit gamers or will we remain cyclists.

Eldron Posted August 6, 2020 Share HEY! We had like 3 straight days of Sub-Zero minimum temperatures during our two weeks of Winter. Don't be like that! Early on in Denmark I was out riding in winter - hopelessly under dressed in my SA "winter" clothing. I was about 5km from home freezing my arse off with numb everything when it started to rain....I was about to jump off and call a taxi when I realised the rain was solid and bouncing off me. Saved by the cold! Yay! Ironic but yay! Vetplant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
