Workout Summary
After finishing your WORKOUT, you will get the WORKOUT SUMMARY. There you have the option to either SAVE the workout or DISCARD IT.
Also, you can review how well you kept the power output compared to the prescribed intervals.
If you ride an FTP test, you will also get your new FTP value there.
To go back to the cycling section, you have three options:
- Click on CYCLING at the top middle of the screen.
- Click on the arrow next to workouts.
- Press escape on your keyboard.
FTP test
If you select the FTP test, you are required to enter your estimated FTP.
If you are not sure, you can start with 200W. We add 5% to your entered value and that becomes your target power.
If this is too hard, after you rest, restart the test and lower the value accordingly. The power value represents a power output you should be able to sustain for 1 hour even though the test itself only lasts 20 minutes.
You will get your new FTP value in the workout summary after the FTP test.
Hot tips
For browsing our WORKOUT database, use the search feature on our website.
During the workout session, you will not be able to see other AVATARS of other riders on the ROUTE.
If you wish to enjoy your WORKOUT alone, you can HIDE OTHER USERS by switching the feature on in the App SETTINGS.
Workout ACTIVITIES will not appear on Leaderboards or route records.
Always DOWNLOAD THE VIDEO of the ROUTE before the ride.
While the Smart trainer resistance is controlled by the ERG segments, the rider’s AVATAR is moving just by power, like if you were riding on a 0% slope.
