No problem, we are have to start somewhere.
Get it all set up, run any calibration exercises that you can so you get as accurate readings as possible. Then always have the setup the same, i.e. same tyre pressure every time etc.
Then go to 'Training' on Zwift and do the Shorter FTP test. This way you will have a base power output, from here you will be able to have Zwift tailor any training sessions to your given power. Also you will know what level of races or events you should be entering. Finally, you will then be able to repeat the FTP tests down the road and see how much you have improved."I’m glad you asked me twice, you see I am a bilingual, I’m a bilingual illiterate… I can’t read in two languages."

The reason I flippantly mentioned your FTP is because of an ongoing joke we have on the board about the iffy power readings people get from Tacx STs. Don't let that worry you though, won't stop you from improving your fitness and having fun on Zwift.

You’ll be smashing it with the best of them after a Winter on Zwift!

Ey up Neilo
I have that very same Tacx and although a good ST for the money I'll just offer a heads-up.I'm on my third one(replaced under warranty).The cover on the Magnet is easily dislodged and can then vibrate and/or snap off.If moved/folded a lot this can be a factor in it's fragilely.
As I said I'm on my third one and this one has been fine but I secured it with Duck tape straight out of the box
Anyway scare-mongery out of the way......welcome to the World of indoor Winter Training
It is boring,can be very boring but there are so many Apps/platforms to help with this that it's almost rude not to partake
Enjoy!
