I’d presume it needs more than a single effort to provide a good estimate. As the saying goes a single swallow doesn’t mean spring is here.
I think it does - but it does it by prescribing higher levels workouts rather than updating FTP.
I actually think if they were to try and manually update their FTP again now that they might actually be prescribed workouts as expected.
Yep, no idea how many bad rides are in there with wrong data. I was mostly thinking that if you do an effort at ~40-70m that is well above the users current ftp the model should see that and at least bump things up a bit?
I don’t think that does the same thing anymore - could be wrong
If you do a ramp test to the HR limit that you’re medically allowed, will that increase your ftp? It would presumably satisfy their need for a ramp test in your history. Even if it didn’t increase your ftp, my next question is: will you then be able to manually enter a new ftp and be able to proceed. I’d try that before I spent another week on the internet discussing it.
Look peeps. I’ve seen this user on the like the 3rd thread going on about this same issue. They’ve been given perfectly good solutions by TR and by all of you in the community. All they do is moan and sound entitled. can’t accept that they’ve got to do some work. In the interests of the community and to keep the channels sane, can we agree to ignore this issue from this user going forward and stop providing further support on this . At this point it stops feeling genuine and starts to feel like someone is trolling, or at least somehow looking for continuous engagement.
I agree but…. 20 years of working in support has trained me to try and fix stuff!
Maybe use the community flags.
Thanks. I’ve never done that as never had to. Have now exercised my rights .
Of the workout is too easy compared to what it’s supposed to be, such as a threshold workout feeling like you could do it twice in a row, then simply use the IN WORKOUT intensity setting to scale up the intensity to the point that the workout feels like it should (hard or very hard for a threshold workout). This will show the AI that to ate more capable.
People think they need to adjust the FTP setting to get the AI to feed them harder workouts, but the AI doesn’t see your FTP setting. The main thing it sees are your actual watts vs duration history, plus HR, RPE, age as smaller factors.
