Discrepancy between TR Workout & Workout displayed on Wahoo Bolt V3

TrainerRoad Software
1

Hi there - Have had a look for similar issues to mine but haven’t had any luck. Apologies if this has been posted somewhere else.

Trainer Road workouts are syncing fine to my Wahoo Bolt V3 but when they arrive the workout is significantly easier (by about 10-20w) than what TR says it should be (even when you account for the workout range i.e. 250-270w displayed on the Bolt)

I’ve checked the obvious stuff, and my FTP is the same across TR and the Wahoo App - any ideas on what the issue might be and how to solve it?

Thanks in advance

Hey @Chris_Terry :slight_smile:

Let me take a look and get back to you.

Hey @Chris_Terry, we took a look and we couldn’t find what may be causing it.

However, there are a couple of things worth checking:

  1. Wahoo workout difficulty slider: If that’s set below 100% it can scale all your power targets down, which would explain the consistent 10–20w gap.

  2. FTP sync timing: even if the numbers look the same, sometimes there’s a slight lag in how Wahoo picks up an FTP update from TR (if there was one).

  3. ERG mode on the BOLT: confirm the workout is running in ERG mode and not Level/Resistance mode. In Level mode the targets are just suggestions and the trainer won’t enforce them.
