Key App Settings

Before you being using the App, you should take a look at the settings and make selections for the areas defined below.

User Profile Settings

This section contains the values mPaceline Pulse uses to estimate calories burned. Your age, gender, weight, along with your resting and maximum heart rate, all play an important role in these calculations. Some of these values may be pre-filled from your Peloton account when you connect it, but we recommend reviewing them to ensure everything is accurate.

Performance Settings

The Performance section defines your current fitness levels for Cycling, Running, and Rowing. For each discipline, you can set your Functional Threshold Power (FTP). Your FTP is used to calculate training zones, which appear throughout the app and help ensure you’re training in the correct target zones during FTP-based workouts.

Setting Your FTP

  1. Tap the discipline (Cycling, Running, or Rowing) you want to update.

  2. Tap the Add FTP icon in the top toolbar.

  3. Choose the effective date for the FTP.

  4. Enter the average power you were able to sustain during your FTP test.

As you adjust the average power, the Manual FTP value updates automatically at the top of the screen. FTP is calculated as 95% of your average test power.

Be sure to tap Save FTP Test to store the result.

Automatic FTP Detection

mPaceline Pulse can also create FTP entries automatically. If an FTP Test workout is detected in your workout history, the app will generate an FTP test for you without any manual input.

Setting Pace Target

The performance section also allows you to tell mPaceline Pulse what your pace target is for running and rowing.  Setting these values allows the app to show the correct speed, and pace for running and rowing workouts.  These values should match what you have set on Peloton.

Region Settings

Finally, you should set the values in the Region section so the app displays distance and speed appropriately.
