Power Zones
Power zones are calculated based on percentage of
your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) and are
commonly used for workout targets in order to give a
range of intensity for an interval.
To view or edit your power zone settings, go to:
Main
Menu > Zones > Power
Setting FTP
Functional Threshold Power (FTP) is the maximum
wattage you can sustain for a long duration, usually 1
hour. This number is the basis for setting your power
training zones and calculating several power based
metrics, such as
TSS
, T-Score, and
IF
. If you are training
with a power meter, you should enter an FTP value
here.
To update your FTP setting, go to:
Main Menu > Zones
> Power > FTP

Power Zone Calculation Method
The Dash comes preloaded with two options for
calculating power training zones based on FTP.

Heart Rate Zones
Heart rate zones are calculated based on percentage of
your Functional Threshold Heart Rate (FThr) and are
commonly used for workout targets in order to give a
range of intensity for an interval.
To view or edit heart rate zone settings, go to:
Main
Menu > Zones > Heart Rate
Setting FThr
Functional threshold heart rate (FThr) is an
approximation of your highest sustainable heart rate for
an hour effort. This number is the basis for setting your
heart rate training zones, as well as calculating several
heart rate based metrics that can be displayed in your
data fields. If you are training with a heart rate monitor,
you should enter an FThr value here.
To enter your FThr, go to:
Main Menu > Zones > Heart
Rate > FThr
