Outdoor rides and Zwift

Riding WattAscent workouts on the road or in Zwift.

Outdoors

Any workout has an Outdoor version: the same intervals grouped into steps, with power ranges of plus or minus 3% that are easier to follow on a bike computer. In a training plan, days you mark as outdoor get the outdoor version automatically.

In Zwift

You can download workouts as Zwift workout files (.zwo):

  • One workout: open its details and click Download for Zwift (.zwo).
  • Your plan: in Plan, click Export this week (.zwo) or Next 4 weeks.

Click How to add them to Zwift next to the export buttons for the steps. Zwift can't hold heart rate, so exported files use a normal warm-up instead of the readiness check.

Rides done in Zwift reach WattAscent through Strava, if Zwift uploads to your Strava.
