Hey all, I want to share an update on a high-priority item our team is working on related to unexpected AI FTP values. Athletes with scheduled outside workouts may see their predicted FTP drop after successfully completing the workout. We’re working on a fix for this as we speak, but reports of t…

I just unpinned that workout and we changed what we’re prescribing for tomorrow. That didn’t change your upcoming prediction (it’s still 330). I then went back to your endurance ride from the 26th, and changed your RPE survey back to easy, and the 330 prediction stuck, so either things have worked…

I am still having issues with this. The AI does seem to still be progressing my workout levels but my FTP is stagnant/dropping. I posted last month in here that at the start of the training block the prediction said I was going to go up to like 202W FTP after he next four weeks. I passed all my wor…

Fair point @eddie . You’re right. In the months now since TR has announced the bug, you have done as you describe. But if you go back and read my “standard response” comment critically in its context, you’ll find I was describing the time period from Ai launch (roughly January) until you acknowledg…

Let’s use this whole messy situation as a great opportunity - for example, to explore and try other AI-based training platforms :rofl::rofl: Surprise! There’s life outside of TR! :grinning_face:

I’ve been following this thread for a while and have to admit that I face the same issue/bug with outdoor rides and the way the AI FTP detection is affected. I thought that, all of us who face the same problem, instead of relying to AI FTP detection, why don’t we do a “non AI” FTP ramp test, provid…

Glad you are doing well, fitness will come back. Looks like AI is working solid for indoor training.

Not that simple. You can test your FTP or just set it if you want, the problem then comes for workouts that get Rx’d to you by TR AI. Because they can’t properly read the outdoor workouts it causes issues. Case and point, AI FTP detection keeps telling me my FTP is 288 meanwhile it’s been validat…

TR’s guidance has been to select a more difficult workout if you feel that’s the right choice, not adjust your FTP. The system is giving you less time at VO2 max because your FTP setting is giving you workouts the system thinks are dipping into anaerobic, probably why you’re rating the workout very …

Did you try not disassociating your ride from the workout? I think if you exceeded the targets, then you didn’t do the Rx anymore, which is fine, and you could rate it as it actually felt. I’d be curious to see what the system would do with the 6.4 shown as skipped and your workout with the accurate…
