Was riding with no plan, but riding daily recommended workouts. 21 Jan, AI determined FTP .: 242 18 Feb., AI determined FTP: 229 18 Mar., AI determined FTP: 226 (I left it at 229 as it was so similar, and I wasn’t failing workouts). 25 Mar., Started Road-Increasing FTP plan Today: Now at week 5…

If you just started the plan on March 25 it’s been 5 days of that plan. I would wait and see how things shake out over a month or so before worrying too much. Has your overall volume trended up or down? What does it look like in the coming weeks?

5 weeks of that plan (vs. 5 days). I need to recheck my calendar and correct the date in my 1st post. But it’s been 5 weeks And the projection is a lower FTP. No failed workouts. Not sure how to look at a volume metric . Volume has increased from volume 5 weeks prior mostly from following the …

Is your volume the same, increasing or decreasing? (Compared to when you had a 240ftp vs the projected 222) The projection is just that, and will almost definitely change up/down depending on workout compliance and RPE. From what we have seen the RPE is pretty influential on the projection.

Can you post a link to your calendar then?

Is there a resource that describes steps I would take to do that? All I saw was to make my profile public.

The ratings I submit have been in line with the status bars of other’s ratings for the workouts. Hard ones are hard, easy ones are easy. And believe I have observed yellow and red day notices appropriately.

TrainerRoad I am not a coach, but it seems like the AI is unhappy with the “demanding” approach and the level of volume that you are currently doing. I would try playing with the sliders for each zone and see what the FTP prediction does. It may think that you …

Here is his calendar: TrainerRoad It looks like your ratio of Very Hard to Hard for Threshold is 2:1 which will slow FTP ramp. Also looks like you have a lot of moderate rides that I would have expected to be easy.
