Understand your training

Make sense of the numbers before chasing them.

Inside Edge Ride began with one purpose: to make cycling metrics and training zones easier to understand. Your FTP, body weight and lactate-threshold heart rate become personal guidance that follows you from learning into structured training.

Three inputs unlock a more personal app.

Set your current values once and Inside Edge Ride uses them throughout its zones, calculators, workout previews and live riding screens.

Personalised zones

Know what the effort is for—not just how hard it feels.

Each zone brings together FTP percentage, watts, W/kg, LTHR percentage, heart rate and perceived effort. The app explains the adaptation being targeted and links directly to appropriate tools and workouts.

  • Recovery and aerobic endurance
  • Tempo and Sweet Spot
  • Lactate Threshold and VO2 Max
  • Anaerobic Capacity and Neuromuscular Power

From screen to ride space

One personalised reference for every zone.

The Full Training Zone Grid brings the app's guidance together on one printable page. It uses the rider's saved FTP, weight and LTHR to show zone purpose, perceived effort, FTP percentage, watts, W/kg and heart-rate ranges side by side.

No need to remember every boundary in the middle of a session: a quick glance shows where the current effort sits and what the zone is designed to achieve.

Inside Edge Ride Knowledge Hub

Ride smarter

The knowledge sits beside the tools.

Clear, practical guidance explains the physiology behind the screens. Riders can understand why zones matter, compare power with heart rate and learn how testing supports better targets.

Understand FTP

Estimate it, test it and see exactly how it shapes your training.

Functional Threshold Power is the benchmark behind your personalised power zones and percentage-based workout targets. Inside Edge Ride explains the number, provides practical estimation tools and includes three structured ways to test it.

2020-minute testEstimate FTP from 95% of one evenly paced maximal 20-minute effort.
2×8Two 8-minute effortsUse 90% of the combined average power from two shorter maximal efforts.
RampProgressive ramp testUse 75% of the highest rolling 60-second power reached during progressive 20 W steps.

Three protocols. Clear calculations. One useful result.

Choose the approach that suits the rider: a progressive ramp, one sustained 20-minute effort, or two 8-minute efforts. Each protocol includes pacing guidance, worked examples and an explanation of how the final estimate is calculated.

  • Ramp and sustained-test calculations explained
  • Results shown in watts and W/kg
