Average Power vs. Normalized Power and the relationship between them

That makes sense. And I’m definitely not on a training plan. Yet at least. I just subscribed and got a trainer. Hard for me to want to come inside in the nice weather though so following a plan may have to wait until winter. I know there is an outdoor option for workouts I just don’t think I’ll be able to follow it well on the roads. I am trying to sprinkle in more moderate and lighter effort days in though. I used to just ride at a pretty high effort all the time which left NP around my FTP with average 10% lower or so.
