AI FTP Detection Is Now Available for Everyone! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

Fairly obviously youโ€™d expect it to be in the same ballpark as other sites, right? If it was 30 watts higher or lower that would be weird. :joy:

I just expected it to be something groundbreaking.

I have a set of scales that weigh 10 lbs under to sell you. :grin:

Yes! Now I can compete on Zwift :slight_smile:

@ggarcea I had this same problem. Probably a bad idea, but I just deleted the ramp test entirely and did a train now workout and kept my FTP as it was.

I thought my PM was off. On the high side. 3 or 4 weeks in a row. I did calibrate my PM. I wanted to see what Ai FTP would do.

It was handled like a champ.

I did put up some Serious PRs on Strava. So, perhaps not off for those rides. Just fresh. I havenโ€™t put those numbers up again. Lots of PRs downhill :(.

Nonetheless, my next workouts were incrementally harder. My FTP only went up by a few at the end of training block.

Between the adaptive training and the Ai logic the result
For my next FTP was solid.

Iโ€™m impressed with the team. Specifically the data science team and Data engineers behind the two features. Of course Product as well. Ok. Everyone. Pretty sweet.

I just remade my plan (in final week of ssb2 MV) and I notice there is no ramp test for my first part of build, just the โ€œregularโ€ workout for Tuesday, my first ramp test is 5th week of build (to be clear I did not click on the AI FTP detection button of a scheduled ramp test, there never was a ramp test scheduled )

Looking into this for you now, @ggarcea! :+1:

If Iโ€™m done with a hard 4 week smashing block and Iโ€™m looking at the next 6 days of easy z1/z2 recovery week rides, can I click the AI FTP button or does completion of the recovery rides also add to the calculation somehow?

Am impatient. Want to click now but also want to use as intended

It doesnโ€™t matter either way.

I just stumbled on this official answer ( from @IvyAudrain), basically it shouldnโ€™t matterโ€ฆ

Mine is 30 watts different.

Which oneโ€™s right? :wink:

Xert has proven itself to be right on over and over. Recent Zwift ramp test confirmed that once again. Itโ€™s been a while since I did a full Sufferfest 4D test (mid-September) but when I did that not too long ago, it was in agreement also. Zwift and Xert are pretty recent and they agree, the TrainerRoad number seems wildly optimistic.

My Xert TP is absolutely spot on.

and does the new TrainerRoad tool agree with your Xert?

No the TR aiftp is about 20w too high

That makes me feel a lot better. I was feeling like maybe I had some weird error on my account and Iโ€™m happy to see itโ€™s not just me. I love that they are pushing this direction but it seems like itโ€™s not accurate yet.

If youโ€™re someone who does higher power outdoors for the same RPE/HR than you would indoor, and you go into a block of indoor riding using the same power meter youโ€™ve been using, will TR see those lower numbers and suggest lower FTP?

I really want to use the Ai FTP button as looking at some of my progression levels it would seem that my FTP is starting to increase but I have Disaster day approaching and well I would rather have it a bit easier if I can lol โ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ
In all seriousness I look forward to using this soon, well done TR on the release.
