I have an upcoming A-event, a 105 km singletrack mtb race. I expect to be out riding for apx 8 hours.
I will get an opportunity for a FTP detection the same day as the race, but I am wondering if it will be more correct to postpone it for a week, or maybe two? I am thinking that the race effort, and the r&r week following will impact so if doing the detection at race day I will have 4 weeks with off-numbers.
I have had quite good experiences with AI-ftp and the workouts I am being prescribed.
Hey @stefanf 
We don’t recommend updating your FTP in the Specialty Phase, so I would recommend to hold off until after. If you have a new plan starting after your A Event, then I would accept the AI FTP Detection at the start of it.
Welcome back Caro!!!
Thank you !!
if we choose to not update to a new ftp during specialty (mine updates 9 days before my A event) can we update it at any point after specialty or do we have to wait another 28days? thank you
You should be able to update it at any point and the 28 days will start there.
My a-race is on Sept 12th. I just had a 13 point FTP increase recommendation, but decided to manually override it and only bump it up 5 point for now and will reconsider post race or simply accept the new FTP in a month. I simply did not want my final weeks to be too intense.
