Help understanding training intensities

Just did Bird -1 which is a Vo2Max 4.5 workout (currently at 4.3).

I completed the workout. It was hard.. it was painfull and I was proud I got through it. I gave it an “8” in Zwift. When synced I noticed my Vo2Max under career didnt change.

I went in through the TR app and marked it as “very hard” and I had to explain why I was marking it as “very hard”. I choosed “Intensity”, but I would say such workout SHOULD be very hard. Even if I also select “Hard” as Intensity I should provide a reason. Is this a bug? Normally it is only iof it’s “all out” effort I give a reason?

Thanks

Scroll to the bottom of your workout page. My guess is that the reason is because, for some reason, this activity appears to be associated with the workout ‘Lazy Mountain -1’, which is an Endurance 1.0 workout. If you correct the association to be the ‘Bird -1’ workout (which is what it appears you completed) I’m guessing that your PLs will update as expected.

Ahh Thanks.

As soon as I removed the association it was showing correctly :-1:

As I was having a “yellow day” today AT suggested that endurance ride. Of course I ignored it and went for the Vo2Max session as planned instead. So for some reason the association is changed eventhough I disregard the AT suggestions…

But thanks for your help
