- Increasing FTP
- Climbing Faster up Alpe Du Zwift

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be subscribed to Zwift to use these plans?
Nope! These plans are available for all athletes, not just those who have active Zwift connections.
Can I add an individual Zwift training phase to my plan?
These plans are not available as individual phases. You'll need to build a custom general fitness plan through Plan Builder to access these plans!
How do these plans differ from existing goal-based plans?
Some of the plans generated for these goals are very similar to existing ones: for instance, Building Endurance plans are the same as they would be for a Road discipline plan aimed around this goal.
Climbing and Racing plans are the most unique, because the demands of these disciplines in Zwift are very specific to Zwift and how these goals.
