You can do your planned YOUB sessions in Zwift. Zwift has no direct connection to YOUB, so the sessions take one stop on the way: YOUB puts them on your Intervals.icu calendar, and Intervals.icu passes them on to Zwift through its official Zwift connection. Intervals.icu is a free training platform; you only need an account there, nothing else.

If you used to get your workouts into Zwift from another training app, this is the same idea: the coach plans the session, and it is waiting in Zwift when you get on the trainer.

## Set Up Zwift

1. Create a free account at [intervals.icu](https://intervals.icu) if you do not have one yet.
2. In YOUB, open **Settings > Wearables** and connect **Intervals.icu**. If you connected Intervals.icu before, the card may show **Reconnect** instead: tap it once and allow calendar access.
3. On the Intervals.icu card, turn on **Send planned workouts**. Your sessions for today and the next three days appear on your Intervals.icu calendar.
4. In Intervals.icu, open the connections page under Settings ([intervals.icu/settings/connections](https://intervals.icu/settings/connections)), find the Zwift box, tick the box to upload planned workouts and click **Connect**. Log in with your Zwift account and accept the permissions (see the [Intervals.icu announcement of the Zwift connection](https://forum.intervals.icu/t/intervals-icu-and-zwift-integration-is-live/81764)).

From then on, Zwift shows the day's workout on its home screen. Upcoming workouts are under **Workouts > Custom**, in the **Intervals.icu** folder.

## What Is Sent and When

- YOUB keeps the sessions of today and the next three days on your Intervals.icu calendar. Sessions further ahead arrive on their own as their date comes closer.
- When the coach changes or moves a session, it is updated on the calendar, and Intervals.icu passes the new version on. A session the coach deletes disappears from the calendar.
- Rides and runs are sent. Other session types stay in the YOUB app.

## FTP and Running Pace

Ride targets are sent as a percentage of your FTP, so Zwift works out the watts from the FTP in your Zwift profile. Zwift does not take your FTP from YOUB or Intervals.icu: keep the FTP in your Zwift profile the same as the one in YOUB, otherwise every interval is too hard or too easy. When YOUB detects a new FTP, update it in Zwift as well.

Running targets are sent as a pace per kilometre. If the paces in a Zwift run workout look off, check the 5 km time in your Zwift profile, which Zwift uses for its run workouts.

## Stop Sending Workouts

Turn off **Send planned workouts** on the Intervals.icu card under **Settings > Wearables**. The workouts YOUB put on your Intervals.icu calendar are removed, so they no longer reach Zwift. Disconnecting Intervals.icu does the same.
