Fun with FTP prediction!

I’m in the last week of a detection cycle.

Last night I was predicted 239->249 I think I started the cycle predicting 254.

I added in some outdoor endurance rides to the week and it elevated to 251.

I completed the ride, but outdoor execution in London is variable:

And now I’m down to 247!

Wtf?

That’s even less than not riding, when a solid hour added watts!

Ps also wanted to show off my fatigue mgmt :joy:

——-edit

I’ve faffed about with all the rides to see if anything makes it better;

  1. Any increase in quality rides (extending, adding, converting from endurance) decreased predicted ftp
  2. Any change to the Sunday ride makes no difference at all
  3. Removing my Weds and Fri 1h outdoor endurance increased ftp
  4. Inserting Weds 30min Easy Solo increased ftp
  5. Inserting Fri 30min Easy Solo affected nothing. Longer was detrimental.
  6. Accepting fatigue management recommendations decreased predicted ftp
  7. Adding a 30min swim tonight affected nothing

So I’m back to a predicted 251. :nerd_face:
