Going back to the AI detection of FTP.

At 55+ i can admit i suck on ramp test and especially after having a good one running when a training pal came into studio stealing the connection to my Wahoo Shift bike since he had it last timešŸ™ˆ

Lucky to have powermeters on all my bikes Road/MTB/Gravel and all activities as powerwalk, running etc. Goes into TR there ate tons of data available

My feel on the exercices is good exept from treashold which i suck in Vo2 max is way better.

I train without nutrition mostly on trainer and some period even in fasting with good strong feeling, no carb suckeršŸ¶ exept from races or +3hrs rides

I have a feeling that its doing a good job, my FTP went up today from 312-317 and i have been able to do many good rides the last 3months, had a cold for 10 days but it came in like a good rest period after high volume training!ā€¦ have also lost 9kg in 10weeks still increasing FTP with good feel, after a tuff job period and vacation my AI went down to 300w then when i came back good my FTP went 306-308 -312-317 feels not like its going bananas but quite moderate!

Try to perform a ramptest coming period!

Increasing FTP whilst losing weight I believe is hard :clap: So as well as your FTP slightly increasing your W/KG is also increasing so the gains are bigger than you thought. I suck at ramp rests too and if AI FTP is working for you which it seems it is Iā€™d stick with it :four_leaf_clover:

Sounds like youā€™re making solid progress! Itā€™s normal for FTP to fluctuate a bit, especially after interruptions like illness or equipment issues. The fact that your Vo2 max is strong and youā€™re still feeling good on most rides is a great sign that your training is effective. Increasing FTP while losing weight and maintaining a strong feel shows your consistency is paying off. Keep an eye on recovery and nutrition for longer rides, but overall it looks like your plan is working well.

I started training at 43 now just turned 58 dont know what you refer to youngerā€¦?

Well 43 is younger than 55. Did you suck at the ramp test when 43? I am older than you and donā€™t suck at the ramp test. You are only old when you use age as an excuse.

12

Well thats right , dont get me wrong here i always sucked at ramp tests and dont use age as a reason ever..!

My opinion with this topic is that i think AI detection is doing a awsom job :+1:t3:

That said iā€™m going to perform a ramp test next week :+1:t3:
