Random question, I’m working my way through SSBHV1, so far so good and I was starting from near 1 on most PLs (5 months off the bike will do that :pensive:), and been really happy with AT keeping it sensible but regularly upping the future workouts as I’ve proved myself capable. Bigger picture, plan…

I’ve only seen adaptations within the current block. You’ll have a ramp test at the start of the next block so in theory that will adjust things anyway and those “drops” in PLs will hopefully be taken up by your increased :wink: FTP.

I mean, I admire your optimism about my performance in the ramp test :rofl: That may be the logic, but then the question would be whether it takes any account of the expected PL, e.g. If we assume a 2.0 decrease (made up number of course) from the average ramp test, when does that get locked in? I …

Dunno :rofl: Don’t look at PLs as absolute, they are just an indicator to match workouts to what AT thinks you should be doing. If your FTP changes then your PLs change and therefore the workouts that will be presented to you will change. Don’t overthink it - go with the flow but be aware that AT …

Ok, I actually got an answer to my question today so I thought I should update in case anyone else wonders :slight_smile: In short, “a week ahead if not in the same block”. I’ve just finished the first workout of SSBHV1’s recovery week, nice relaxed ride, been greeted with the joyous “Adaptations…

[image] FlyingPenguin: Obviously I still plan to do the ramp test next week [image] [image] tadatadatada Introducing AI FTP Detection tadatadatada Announcements Hey everyone! AI FTP Detection is now available in Early Access. We know that testing (assessing) can …

:rofl: Because I want to prove to myself that it works… Yes, I’ve already checked it out: [image] But I want to at least give it a go so I’ll see how close I can get. Do I believe it works? Sure. But I’m recovering from serious injuries (FTP has gone 296-202-“Maybe 218?”) so I’m not totally c…
