We’re working on a major release of AI FTP Detection. I wanted to give everyone an update of what’s happening and ask for feedback to help with some internal constructive debates we’re having. Disclaimer: everything I type here is subject to change. We’re planning on creating an “Auto” AI FTP det…

Cool. That’s what I figured since Nate used the terms “prompt“ and “recommendation“ in his post

I think this is the key risk to FTP changes during Specialty/race season. Obviously, as you mentioned in another thread, sometimes you do genuinely have an increase in fitness and need to pace/set expectations off a higher benchmark, but it requires a bit of experience to know the difference. I als…

It’s a bit of a tangent, but I would STRONGLY advise any new name for this number to be something with initials very different from “FTP”. I get the idea of swapping a word and keeping the digits, but it will likely lead to endless confusion. We’ve touched on this in other topics, but something tr…

I know :smirk:. I agree, it would cause endless confusion as it wouldn’t be able to be used as an acronym. It was tongue in cheek, and honestly I think it’s an accurate way to describe it. You’re right a new name is needed. Back to the drawing board.

Two nanoseconds after TRP comes out there will be an equation published to convert TRP to FTP. Just like 4mMol lactate, we be stuck with FTP 4-eva

Indeed: [image] Poor ramp testing Training A rose by any other name… I don’t think renaming the metric would ever allow people to ignore the constant fretting and comparisons that occur with FTP. That would likely be true even if they took the step of making something e…

[image] TRusername: My only request would be a way for AI FTP Detection to work better with outlier athletes. I know we’re a very small minority but I’m keeping hope alive! I don’t think there are that many outliers anymore. TrainerRoad has talked about putting AI Detection to the test by gi…

I think you have to remember there are people who will get anxious when AIFTPD says 235 and they test and get 233 or 237.

I agree that there aren’t that many outliers anymore, but it could be that those athletes are no longer using TR because it didn’t work for them. I don’t use TR anymore because the model isn’t optimal for me, but I’m still a subscriber because I want TR to continue improving with user data.

I must start by saying that if anyone reading this suffers from this anxiety. I feel for you and wish you did not have to go through this. FTP is not a perfect science it is what you were able to do on that day at that moment based on 100s of variables. If you were to use AI FTP D and not do the ra…
