Questions about Threshold pace in training zones

In my Athletica.ai - AI-powered training Profile & Zones page on the top I see my Treshold is 4:11/km.

and just below

Should the threshold value be the same ? Should I update the Training Zone 4:25 Threshold pace with the 4:11 from the top of the dashboard, or is it unnecessary / 2 different things ?

Thank you !

Hey there,
Threshold value shown in the pace/power-duration chart is either last 6 week, 3mo etc value.
Threshold value displayed in training zones is the threshold detected within the last 6 months.

Best, MJ

That’s good to know.

I’ll add my own question to this post:
Today I made my FTP 20 min test as part of the test week. After saving the ride, the threshold in my Cycling Power Profile got updated to 255 W, but in the Training Zones it has been updated to 234 W - this seems like a large discrepancy. What is the reason behind using different rolling window for Threshold values used in the Power Profile vs Training Zones? Shouldn’t recent testing (such as the one I did) update the threshold value for the training zones so that my training is adjusted according to the most recent test (which I think is the entire point of performing periodic tests)?
