I have been using AI FTP detection since it was offered in Trainerroad. I used the ramp test and before it the 2x 8min and 20 min test. It certainly was easier than suffering for 20 minutes and highly prefered. For most part of the year AI set my FTP around 334 - 339 Watts and I never questioned it.…

Nothing there to suggest it’s off. Maybe try 2 × 20 at 270 watts and see how you go? RPE of 7 or 8 should seal the deal. Or try one of the @empiricalcycling FTP tests.

Update after latest block: AIFTPD: 316 20 min Test: 318 Pretty impressive. Next update in four weeks.

I’d say it’s even more impressive than the number. Your 20 min test invites a lot of potential inconsistency (different weather, feels, etc) where AIFTP apparently looks at signals in the data that aren’t going to be skewed so much by those variables. It’s a more holistic view, it would seem.

My first few AI-FTP detections were under by a good 5-10% in comparison to the figures given by 20’ tests. The last two 20’ tests I beat AI-FTP by one watt. I think the model becomes more accurate with many more months of workout data, &/or the AI-FTP model is tuned to the selected training plans. B…

Just to throw one more option in the mix FasCat now has Auto FTP Detection

It’s a wonder why most platforms don’t offer CP modeling or “Auto CP”. All they have to do is borrow from a git repo and and integrate it like Stryd did. I’m not sure how everyone else tracks their progress, but I use a CP trends chart that has my cycling history (only from 2018 til now) and compar…

I have a WKO5 chart that has mFTP (WKO5’s modeled FTP, similar to CP), my set FTP, and TR’s AI FTP Detection to see how everything aligns. Plus how well does AI FTP “work” for me.

TR’s AIFTP continues to not work for me. Just got my next update after another 28days but it always tracks miles behind other approaches and it’s so cautious in ramping up. Old TR AIFTP 354W New TR AIFTP 360W +1.7% today But just in the last 28 days my training has included outdoor efforts on cli…

Set your minimum time for eFTP in intervals.icu to 30 or 35 minutes and see what number it gives you.
