Love the AI FTP detection but wonder if it’s initially optimistic 28 days out and then converges to a more realistic number? I had a 239 estimate which landed on 222 (though this was when I first joined, so based on limited data). I now have a 241 forecast (currently 222 FTP) which would be another …

My experience with the AIFTP prediction has been that it seems to be fairly accurate (=matches the eventual AIFTP detection) as long as I am able to complete all the workouts that were initially scheduled for the following 4 week period as intended and I rate each workout in accordance with the most…

I don’t think anyone really knows how it works. Lots of observations but no real conclusions. We know, not following the plan exactly, reduces the prediction in most cases. I look at it but don’t take the numbers it produces as something set in stone. Example: during a build block I missed a short …

I’m not doing any of my workouts outside. I’m aware of the bug. All my workouts are strictly done on the trainer.

Then it may be something else. I can take a look at your account and post relevant things from your Calendar here with your permission. [image] Updated Forum Guidelines Announcements Hey all, We’ve made some recent changes to our forum guidelines around how w…

It honestly doesn’t really matter all that much to me, but if you think it would be helpful for others you are more than welcome to post my Calendar here. For my part I’ve just learned to ignore the FTP Predictions since they are simply not reliable in my experience.

On a side note RIP Tacx Neo, sorry for your lost, it looks like the trainer had a good run. I had my Kickr since 2020 and I have a feeling it close to giving up the ghost :headstone:

[image] Caro.Gomez-Villafane: While you may be completing your Interval Workouts Indoors, you are completing your Solo Rides rides Outside, and these are part of your training plan. Is the outdoor bug not only for outdoor workouts but also outdoor unstructured rides?

Is the argument here that once a person does ANY rides outdoors the FTP Prediction is not reliable because of your outdoor bug? I was told this only applies to workouts and it would be a strange argument to make that any outdoor riding makes it ok that the FTP Prediction gets reduced directly after…

How do you know about that? :sweat_smile: Did I post in here about it somewhere? And thanks for your condolences :grin: My new Tacx Neo 2T has taken over and is so far doing a fantastic job! Hope your Kickr still has a few years in him :flexed_biceps:

Hey @PavanB

If you’re doing any of your workouts outside, you’re likely running into a bug that’s causing what you are describing. @TKilian this may be the case for you as well.
