I just accepted my 28 Day AI FTP increase this morning from 233 to 242 and had ‘Blue Eagle’ scheduled this afternoon which I’ve just completed - it was HARD. Immediately after my workout Trainerroad has increased my FTP to 251 via the AI FTP detection. I guess I’m just curious as to how this could work? Was the workout I’ve just completed indicative of a higher FTP than TR had adjusted me to this morning? I’ve screenshot the past two weeks of training for reference

It’s a 9.8 workout in a range that goes to 10 (i think).
I believe this AI FTP increase will be because TR can’t keep building your PL’s, so it increases your FTP and decreases your PL’s, to have some workouts to prescribe.
(Just checked and max anaerobic workout has a PL of 11)
Is this the first week of general build? If so, I’m surprised to see a 9.8PL workout being prescribed.

Thanks for your response! That does make sense, my only real concern is the potential implications moving forward. Yeah, it is the first week which was made me a bit confused too. I guess I’ll see how I go over the next few workouts and possibly revert to the 242 FTP if the workouts aren’t doable?
I’d ask support to take a look at why you got a 9.8 anaerobic workout scheduled in the first place (well done for finishing it by the way).
It’s out of line with your other PL’s, so unless you have been hitting the anaerobic system hard, this seems to be where the issue is.
Pushing up your FTP, could lead you into issues with your other workouts, so best to get it checked.

Thanks, yeah I will ask the question. I really appreciate you help, thanks mate
Seems like something has changed in the workout recommendation engine - it feels like there needs to be better communication/explanation around this from TR, as I can see there being a lot of queries along these lines.

Thanks for the feedback @Flashpoint51!
I’d definitely pass this along to the team.
Please let me know if you have any other questions about any of this. 
@mr5neak, this is likely due to the updates discussed above. Keep up the good work!

Are you brand new to training? I’d be shocked to see a jump from 233 to 251 unless you’re very new to structure or to TR and perhaps your FTP was set incorrectly in the first place.
Quite new to structured training yes!

It’s the two seperate AI FTP increases on the same day, that feels a bit clunky.
One generated after 28 days and the other after completing Blue Eagle.
That said, it must feel great to get a 7.72% increase in FTP!

20 watts in 28 days is wild! Either the old ftp was low or he’s a high responder.
