Sorry for another AI ftp post. Overall, it’s not what I thought it would be and I’m not really sure what the best way forward is at the moment. Quick back story: TR was essentially my entry into structured training years and years ago. After a few seasons I hit a plateau with it and started using a…

I dunno I looked ahead at a threshold workout it has for me next week right now and it’s putting the threshold sections at 95% of this 314 “ftp”. I’m worried about numbers in my workouts being skewed too far up. I can do it for a little while but how long till this craters the rider and puts them in…

The workouts aren’t prescribed in percentages based on ftp. They have said on the podcast that the ai doesn’t look at ftp when selecting workouts but rather just goes off your training history and the ML to select what it thinks will give you the best training stimulus.

It still feels like you are getting ahead of yourself. If you have HR and accurately rate the RPE at the end - then this will be a pretty good gauge of whether the workout is too hard (or you will simply fail the workout) - in either case if it is too hard then it will get toned down. As it gets mo…

When I look at my threshold workout slated for next week it says the threshold sections are at 95% of the 314 AI ftp number (which is 298, a number I’ve basically never done straight threshold intervals at). It seems the ai ftp number is still somewhat relevant in the numbers I’m supposed to be doin…

[image] jsteelfex: I see my options as 1)try to push through the ever increasing numbers to see what the AI does 2)manually drop the ai ftp number to something more realistic (will this screw up the functionality in any way?) I went through a similar journey, and have settled on #2 lowering…

[image] angusmagic: The workouts aren’t prescribed in percentages based on ftp. I thought so too. Now Im not so sure. [image] This is kinda interesting - New AI v Old AI Training Last year - 9 days after detection of that 293ftp [image] Now under th…

[image] mschwartz111: will make your workouts too easy. Not based on my experience - they are still the right RPE, but just higher level workouts that are in the intended zones and longer TIZ.

“Did the first 28 days of sweet spot and over/unders and was able to do all the workouts.” Didn’t you say that you were doing SS and threshhold workouts with your ftp at 299? So why would doing threshold workouts at 95% of 314 be an issue? At least try the workout and see if you fail. If you fail,…

[image] jsteelfex: It seems the ai ftp number is still somewhat relevant in the numbers I’m supposed to be doing in these upcoming workouts. Nate has said on the podcast (and in those links above) that the model is agnostic to your FTP. The model looks and says “I think you can do threshold …

I’m in complete agreement with you. OP can actually test this themself as well. Take a note of the actual wattages prescribed for a few upcoming workouts. Go and manually change your FTP +/-20 watts and look at the new workouts AI prescribes. Are the wattages more or less the same?
