Your YOUB Workouts in Zwift

Last reviewed October 29, 2026 View as Markdown

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 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), 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).

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.
