My FTP is different in Garmin, Strava, or Intervals
FTP and zones
Each platform may calculate or store different references. The important thing is to use a coherent FTP in VinApp for training.
Recommended steps
- Do not change FTP only because another platform gives a different number.
- Look where each value comes from: test, eFTP, estimate, or manual data.
- Use an FTP that lets you complete demanding but realistic workouts.
- If workouts are impossible, it is probably high.
- If everything is too easy for weeks, it may be low.
- Adjust gradually and observe several sessions.
