Welcome to the forum. This topic has some existing discussion worthy of review. Here is what I found with the advanced search options: [Search results for 'heart rate power zone #training' - TrainerRoad](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/search?q=heart%20rate%20power%20zone%20%23training)

Results:

- [Comparing Power Zones with Heart Rate (HR) Zones](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/comparing-power-zones-with-heart-rate-hr-zones/7890)
- [Heart Rate Zones (HR) vs Power Zones](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/heart-rate-zones-hr-vs-power-zones/9503)
- [HR zones versus power - do they align?](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/hr-zones-versus-power-do-they-align/30787)
- [Higher than normal heart rate for FTP zone](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/higher-than-normal-heart-rate-for-ftp-zone/22735)

And as mentioned, the 220-age is a poor way to start. You should ignore that and only use Max HR data or close estimates from your actual riding.
