Some are the toughest critics and some are the toughest lovers and some are both at the same time 🙂 !!

Good to hear and Yes. I made this survey (which you marked as solution 🙂 ) that showed no matter what the AI FTP value is (in relation to old FTP or 60min or whatever) vast majority of users acknowledged that the prescribed training was about right!

It’s just this edge cases that us power users sometimes have a hard time wrapping our head around like this:

> [@Trainer Road FTP vs …FTP](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/trainer-road-ftp-vs-ftp/110694/44):
>
> I have been training with around 310W FTP for some time now after completing a 20 minute test in Coll de Rates with 20min average power of 326W (also my all time best). My best 1 hour power is under 300W.
> 
> The first new AI FTP estimate for me is 352W.

That’s pretty wild for this user to see 352 AI FTP with 20min PB 326. Maybe have a look there.

I like your deep dives into those user profiles to understand more, which often turn out that the user only told half the story or gave some inconsistent RPE and I was just shaking my head and did not envy you and the support team. (But that does not seem to be the case for that user … as he showed PDC and told about very hard RPE ratings)

And looking forward to seeing the new UI that Nate showed that helps us better understand the power of the workouts vs 6 week PB or so.
