Interestingly, I spoke to a coach recently about the indoor/outdoor FTP difference and they always set two when they set up an athelete for 1 to 1 coaching because they are often so different.
Yet TR doesn’t recognise this as being a worthwhile thing.
Yep, my Coach had different FTP’s set up on WKO (for TrainingPeaks). They were 20-25W different. Intervals.icu also allows separate indoor and outdoor FTPs.
This is my main (maybe only) issue with TrainerRoad and the reason I didn’t join it before.
I have a power meter on my CX bike and I think with all the power spikes, short race duration and high RPE this actually confuses TR. I had AIFTP want to lower my FTP during the season went I was feeling good and completing workouts, this was why I took the 20 minute test.
Other than that I think for training AIFTP is close enough before it got confused by my races.
I do most of my training on the turbo and don’t know how training outside would effect it.
It’s the first race off the day (9 AM) thus the grass could be wet.
If that’s the case it’s back to the Baby Limus
