Just started trainer road 3weeks ago or so , and been riding just pure zone 2 , and today my FTP went up from 296 to 331 watts !! The best part is I didn’t do any tests … just automatic FTP detection.. hmmm not convinced ! Looks like TR is glitching.( it went up straight after I updated app today )

My FTP increased by 15.3%
From 288 to 332.
Yesterday I did sweetspot session.
”Achhorn is 3x23:30-minute intervals where the first minute is spent at 135% FTP before settling in at 93-94% FTP for the long remainder of each interval. Only 2:15 minutes of recovery fall between long effort.”
22 minutes at 262W x 3 with hard start.
It was not easy but not super hard.
My next sweetspot session is
”Eclipse is comprised of 3x20 minute Sweet Spot efforts (88-94% FTP) with 7 minutes of recovery between intervals.”
3x20min ~300W
I don’t think that is right. That is threshold training for me right now and real hard one.
If you are doubting it, you may consider a ramp test or set duration power test (20 minutes or greater) and see how it aligns.

So my FTP dropped 10% when what I really needed was a 9 day week!
