AI FTP Dropped Me About 3%

I’m scheduled to run my 30 day aiftp tonight. Am I going to have potential issues or has the bug been fixed? Thanks

You should be good to go tonight!

hi @eddie could you also look into my account? My ftp dropped by 5.7% on Aug 24th. Didn’t do much structured training lately, so not sure whether that is correct or not. thanks :slight_smile:

Very disappointed…. Was really hoping we got to roast someone’s training. :wink:

Hi @eddie - I also had a 5% drop on the 24th which I ignored (manually corrected) as I was able to do all Workouts TrainNow suggested / it still felt right. Could you have a look if that was also do the bug? Thanks in advance :victory_hand:

Same happened to me after clicking ‘train now’ it tried to drop me by 10 watts or so after only having an update 1 week ago that was within 1 watt.

Admittedly I haven’t been doing any structure after completing a 12 week plan but my power numbers are up across the board so I just ignored it.

@jave00 @danielrcross @LiamC93, that bug found you all, but I’ve fixed everything on the backend.

Thanks for hanging in there! :handshake:

One of our leads reached out to you this morning.

It sounds like you were running into an edge-case scenario, generating some undesirable behavior due to your on-and-off approach to using TR as an FTP detection-only style app.

We’ve got a workaround that should help you out if you plan to keep using the app this way. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks Eddie and Kent & Evan behind the scenes. FTP gone up 7 watts in 6 weeks woohoo love it. :grinning_face:

I got the popup on the 24th which might have actually been right. But surprised to see it just pop up and suggest. Normally have to go into settings to trigger it.

That was a bug. I’ve deleted that FTP from your account. You should be able to run AI FTP Detection in 1 day, which will give you a solid estimate.

Sorry for the trouble! :handshake:

I am now preparing for tomorrow’s AI FTP calculation so say “sorry about the error! Your FTP did not drop by 3%. Your new FTP is -10%. Carry on.” :cry:

You’ll get an accurate detection. Let me know how it goes! :clap:

My ai ftp dropped by 5% this past Sunday. Just emailed support because I wanted to check before switching out of TR. Good to know it was a bug.

Hi!

My ftp also dropped 5% on the 24th. I assumed it was because TR was disappointed in me for not adhering to a plan. Looked forward to easier workouts in the upcoming indoor season. But, maybe it was a bug? Can you please check :slight_smile:

I think I tried AI FTP detection on 8/23. I was surprised to see a 10W decrease. Am I part of the glitch? This is the first time I hope to be part of the glitch group!

Thanks, although I am actually on the fence as to whether to subscribe again at the moment because life it so hectic. I do love the calendar, being able to add in strength training, and the workout library. I am not overly bothered about adaptive training because I never really know why it does what it does and it doesn’t yet adapt if I change a workout to better suit outdoors. As for AiFTP - how am I supposed to know in future if the system is glitching, or if I have just lost fitness because life has had a huge impact (I wasn’t massively surprised by a 10 watt drop as my poor sympathetic system has been on overdrive for what feels like weeks)?

It’s difficult to trust a system, especially when, at the start of the year, I raised the issue that it felt like it had either set the bar too high when I rejoined, or wasn’t giving me correct FTP data as it was clear I was fitter and making gains in real life, but the system was putting my FTP down. It was right, I was told.

Now I am expected to trust it to do it’s thing, and, when I do, I find out that is wrong.

Depending on which way the next few weeks pan out, money could become extremely tight and it’s hard to justify the outlay for TR just because the calendar is nice and I can find a range of workouts to make progression easier…..I could just start using the TP free calendar again and doing the standard old school traditional interval progression if I want to add structured training back in again. ChatGPT can knock up a simple structured training progression and will adapt it for my fatigue levels if I ask it.

I know that sounds harsh, but it is reality. We all have limits to our funds and judgement calls about spending have to be made, particularly if money is tight.

Give me good reasons to stay with TR and, as long as I can afford it, I will.

I got dropped around 20w last week, and assumed it was because of my lack of indoor rides (i’ve done a few longer, unstructured outdoor rides instead). Interesting to see a lot of other people having a similar issue

Recalculation increased by 1.2% for me.

hi @eddie - seems I was also affected by the glitch!
