WKO and updating training zones
FYI
I am new to WKO. When I updated my zone for a given time period. I just entered my new value and changed the date. I did not realize that you have to go to the options menu or else the new training zone over writes all data. Seems strange.
from the online help...
***Note: You can assign zones to a specific time period. In order to do this, you must first click OPTIONS>NEW ZONES for each new date range. Then you must type in the date field the new date that you want the data associated with. Change the value in the Threshold power window and then hit the key. Also click OPTIONS> CALCULATE ZONES to get the numbers in the window to recalculate with the new zone value.
If you just change the date in the window and do NOT click Options> NEW ZONES, then you will overwrite the previous data with the new zone value. So, it's VERY IMPORTANT that you always click OPTIONS> NEW ZONES when you are creating a new zone.
Changing your zones and the value it is associated with is an important task. This allows you to change your zones as your fitness changes! It's a good idea to change your zones through out the year. By assigning zones to time periods you will affect only that data that falls in the time period you establish. In this manner, you TSS and IF will be valid for each time period, and not skewing your data as your zones change. ***

Yup, it took me TWO years to find this out. Once I did, I spent 1/2 hour going back and repeating that maneuver for all the times my FTP changed. Then, I was finally able to compare apples to apples on my performance management chart.
good advice, thx
