sounds more like an issue with your training plan, and less an issue of your FTP.
I think you’re right. In practice though…I think using the AI FTP detection has exacerbated the issue…as I’ve technically complied with workouts and plans to a degree that it raises my FTP, when it really probably should not.
I think shifting your answers on the survey will likely have the biggest effect over time.
That’ll get the best of us… glances nervously at yesterday’s 200 TSS ride on the off day of a rest week but hey it was 55 and trails were dry
In my own case, looking at TSB (or what my coach does) is a good way to help reorganize days after a big and unplanned big load day. Its part of what the FasCat Optimize app does, except to put it into actionable terms instead of having to interpret and realize -30+ TSB means another day off (or easy 1 hour ride) instead of the usual interval day.
