Setting Zones in WKO

David Flint

Hi all - apologies if this has been covered many times before; can anyone suggest a method or best estimates(most effective way) to set my power zones in WKO below:

Zone	HR	Power
Z1 / < 70%:	< 137	< 184
Z2 / 70-75%:	138-146	184-199
Z3 / 80-85%:	147-154	212-225
Z4 / 95-100%:	155-160	252-265
Z5 / > 110%:	> 161	> 292

Thanks,

Dave

I don't worry about the zones in WKO. I just set the FTP and ignore the rest.

A while back an ENer much smarter than me (please forgive me for forgetting the name of this terrific person) recommended adding grey zones in WKO+ between the EN zones where there are gaps. So in your case WKO+ would look like this for power:

Z1 / < 70%: < 184
Z2 / 70-75%: 184-199
GZ2 200-211
Z3 / 80-85%: 212-225
GZ3 226-251
Z4 / 95-100%: 252-265
GZ4 266-291
Z5 / > 110%: > 292

You could then follow the same process for HR.

Thanks for the input folks - will experiment with both ideas. Thinking about how they both impact on the PMC, I'll do more research/test and report back perhaps. You never know, this may not be an issue with WKO v.3!
