Add FTP (Functional Threshold Power) Value to Best Efforts for Cycling Activities

[dimagious]

I propose adding Functional Threshold Power (FTP) metrics to the Best Efforts section for cycling activities, particularly for the 20-minute power duration. FTP is a critical performance measure for cyclists, and integrating it into Strava's Best Efforts would offer users a more comprehensive overview of their fitness and training progress. By displaying FTP values alongside other efforts, cyclists could more easily track improvements, compare performances, and optimize their training routines. This enhancement would cater to the serious cycling community and provide additional value for both amateur and professional athletes.

I don't understand yet what should be displayed,  where and when. For the 20 min period the best power output is shown already. The FTP from there can't be really computed automatically because surely the FTP doesn't decrease immediately when someone doesn't go all out in a ride. And in the web version you can set and see the manual set FTP values in a table.

@Jan_Mantau , thanks for your comment! I see where the confusion might be coming from.

Currently, in the Best Efforts section, we only see metrics like distance and elevation gain, as shown in the screenshot I attached. My suggestion is to enhance this section by also displaying the FTP value, which is already determined by Strava but is currently only visible within individual workout details.

By including FTP in the Best Efforts section, it would be easier to compare your FTP with other athletes' FTP values directly from their profile, without needing to dive into specific workouts. This would be particularly useful for athletes who want to gauge their progress relative to others more conveniently.

Hope this clears up the idea a bit more!
