  • Click the ⋮ icon next to your preferred Workout Library folder
  • Choose "Import Workout"
  • Select your desired workout(s) and click "open"
    • The bulk import of files is supported
    • .zwo is the only compatible file type at this time

File Conversion Nuances:

  • Warm Up and Cool Down blocks in the middle of a workout are converted into a linear ramp block
    • Linear ramp block is a stepwise ramp
      • 1 step per minute
      • If the interval is shorter than 1 minute, we split into 2
  • If the % of FTP of an interval is set to 0, it will be converted to a free-ride interval 

Import File Custom Code Settings:

Users can add custom code to their .zwo file to add text to intervals, set a specific resistance mode, or make a "max effort" interval.

  • Add text to different parts of a workout for your athlete to see on screen
    • Text event example code structure:
      • !TextEvents:{
        (timeoffset):(message);
        }
      • Example Text Event:
        • !TextEvents:{
          0:FAST FEET!;
          15:Excellent work! Bring the cadence back down again and let's take a few breaths.;
          60:Spin the gear! No bouncing in the saddle here.;
          75:Great job! 2 more of those to go!;
          120:HIT IT!;
          180:LET'S GO!;
          195:Nice one! Let's bring it down again.;
          }
  • Choose whether an interval is done on the flat road resistance setting
    • !FlatRoad:{False}
  • Make an interval "max effort"
    • !MaxEffort
