      Hi there. I am doing the 40+ plus MTB base program. When I do zwift workouts, should I be following power zones or HR zones. My heart rate typically has me one zone above my power zone based on FTP.

      Thanks!

      Hi Liezl,

      On Zwift, follow power zones. HR and power do not track in a linear manner. Indoors HR is often higher due to being warmer.
