I’m on a 12 week Increasing FTP plan. I’m a Masters 60yr old with a lot of prior racing training experience but basically stopped training hard for a about 2 years due to “life” and am now getting back into it. My scheduling is basically 2 hrs on Sat/Sun and 1 hr on Wed, though most of the time i…

Thanks Eddie, but you’re not off the hook yet :wink: A single successful prediction after a string of abject failures could just be a fluke. I very much don’t trust a 12W gain in a single block. -Tim

Am I ever off the hook, though? :fishing_pole:

The big, often missed point in many of these posts, is that “detected FTP” is also OFF and giving bad, nonsensical results (at least for riders doing all rides including structured intervals outside). “Predicted FTP” problems are the most obvious (so many reporting the same problems), but IMHO the p…

100% agree, I’m in the same position as you. :frowning:

@eddie So this is the “endurance ride” bug I’m seeing. I do a hard ride on Saturday and Sunday is a “recommended rest day” but presents the option of an endurance ride. In this case it’s showing a 30 minute endurance ride option. But when I select the ride it changes it to a longer endurance ride…

It’s been working pretty well for me, although had a brief drop this weekend after my first outdoor ride, but it seems to have corrected itself after another outdoor ride today. Follow the rest recommendations and don’t overdo it, and if you’re rating in line with what the AI thinks you should be ra…

This definitely seems like a bug of sorts. I’ve just created a report and I’ll follow up when I know more. For the time being, I’d recommend avoiding riding on red days. If you’re ever looking for 30 minute recovery workouts, you can go to the “Browse Workouts” tab and filter for Active Recovery wo…

The thing I disliked the most is that FTP basically changes based on the responses to the post-workout report. I think it’s wrong because the response is very subjective, while FTP is an objective measurement. I think next year I’ll use the ramp test, maybe once every two months. Even the suggested…

Just to clarify, are you saying that you do want to use ramp tests to set your FTP? Also, are you looking for longer workouts or just more sustained intervals in those sweet spot and threshold workouts?
