I Still Use Ramp Tests

Interestingly enough, even after failing some workouts and giving honest responses, it did not seem to back off for me too much.

No problem!

It looks like you’re in a good place now. You’ve had some time off, and you’re back in the Base phase on a low-volume plan, which is great. Do your best to follow the plan when you can, and don’t overdo it.

Answer the post-workout surveys honestly, and don’t add in much extra volume if you can help it. Be honest with yourself, and if you need an extra rest day, don’t be afraid to skip a workout!

Lastly, make sure to keep your recovery weeks as recovery weeks. Don’t add any intensity during these times, even when riding outside. It’s important to give your body the time to recover and adapt.

Best of luck moving forward and feel free to reach out if you need any help from us! :+1:

I should say that I do like the option for AI detection. Sometimes I just want to workout and I would hate to be forced to do ramp tests all the time. So thank you TrainerRoad for making that happen. It gives even more value to the program

I usually hit the ai ftp button then go ahead and do the ramp and my numbers agree really well too. Maybe not quite well as yours….but within just a few watts and I love it. Respecting the rest week is still a struggle….but I think TR is the best thing going.

@ivegotabike If your TR workouts feel as they should, then it sounds like AI FTP Detection is working properly!
