Functional Threshold Power (FTP) is a key metric for measuring your cycling endurance and performance. Located in the Progress tab, this section allows you to track your highest average power output over a sustained period, helping you set accurate training zones and monitor improvements in your fitness.
The main chart displays your Cycling FT Power, measured in watts per kilogram (W/kg), over a selected time frame. You can toggle the view between a 4-week and 6-month overview to analyze short-term changes or long-term trends in your performance. The chart visualizes how your FTP fluctuates, helping you see the impact of your training.
Below the chart, your FTP is categorized into different performance levels, from Novice to World Class. This comparison helps you understand where your current fitness stands in relation to established benchmarks for your age and gender. The app shows the percentage of time and number of days you've spent in each level.
For a deeper understanding, tap the cards in the Learn More section at the bottom of the screen.
To ensure your FTP data is accurate, consider performing a dedicated FTP test periodically (e.g., every 4-6 weeks). This provides a reliable benchmark to track your progress and adjust your training zones accordingly.
The Cycling FT Power section provides a comprehensive analysis of your cycling endurance. By tracking your W/kg ratio over time, comparing it to established performance levels, and learning how to measure it accurately, you can effectively structure your training, set realistic goals, and monitor your long-term fitness progression.
