How to Improve FTP with AI-Personalized Zwift Workouts (Free Plan Inside)

Your FTP — Functional Threshold Power — is one of the most meaningful numbers in cycling. It’s the best estimate of how much power you can sustain for about an hour, and it directly determines your performance on long climbs, time trials, and races.

Improving it is the holy grail for many Zwift users — but most training plans don’t adapt to you, your fitness, or your weekly schedule.

That’s why I created Verva: an AI tool that builds personalized Zwift training plans around your FTP, your training availability, and your goal — like boosting FTP.

Why FTP Training Matters

The stronger your FTP, the faster you’ll go — it’s as simple as that. Training your FTP means improving your ability to sustain higher power outputs without fatiguing.

Traditional Zwift workouts target FTP with steady efforts at 90–105% of your current threshold. But what if your current FTP is outdated? Or you can only train three times a week? That’s where Verva’s AI-generated plans are different.

How Verva Builds Smarter FTP Plans

With just a few inputs:

• Your current FTP (in watts)
• Your goal: Improve FTP
• Number of sessions per week

Verva generates a structured training plan in ZWO format, ready to load into Zwift. It builds a week of tailored workouts that include:

• Threshold intervals (e.g., 3x12min @ 95–100% FTP)
• Progressive builds (e.g., over-unders and ramps)
• Proper recovery and warmups

Each session is adapted to your power level and time constraints.
