I've noticed that the NP on my Wahoo is usually a little higher than what Strava indicates as a Weighted Average. I usually forget that Fitness/Freshness exists, but I have been looking at it every now and then for the last month or so. FWIW, Strava says I'm ~as fit as I've ever been.

It seems to have grabbed my indicated FTP from Strava, which is probably 5-10w low. As far as Intervals, I haven't made a point of doing any on a real ride in... forever, unless you count, "let's do this entire ride at 90%" or "I'mma hold X watts up this hill." I really should start doing some real-world intervals, but I've never figured out how to set it up on the Wahoo. *shrug*
