Garmin Training Plans - which type of Power Zones?

I have just started one of the Garmin training plans using my Garmin Edge 530 (2021 Gran Fondo). This generates daily

workouts based on durations in Power Zones. The plan simply states, for example, 2 hours in Zone 2. The Edge automatically

generates Power Zones based on your FTP, but there are two configuration options for Power Zones; ‘7 Zones’ and ‘9 Coggan iLevels’,

each giving different wattages for the same nominal zones. Does anyone know upon which configuration the training plans are based?

Thanks

Hey,

The zone configuration is 7 power zones, like you would find configured in your garmin connect app either generically listed in the beginnning or configured after you get your FTP.

Cheers

Thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated.

I had made that assumption as it seems the most prevalent configuration. I’m not too sure how highly I rate the Garmin plans but will persevere for now and be on the lookout for other sources of free plans.

Merry Christmas!
