Outdoor training bug

I understand there is a bug whereby outdoor training leads to inflated FTP predictions, which gradually drop and converge with FTP detection at the end of the “cycle”.

Just out of interest … how does TR define/identify outdoor training? Is there some kind of gps marker on the file it receives?

And does this bug also get triggered by:

  • Future planned “events” (On calendar> Add> Event) - there is no indoor/outdoor tag, so perhaps they are assumed to be outdoor?
  • Completed activities that are non TR generated - Zwift races or free rides?

Outside workouts are workouts that were done outside. I don’t actually know if it’s the GPS data or something else that TR looks at to make this designation, but those are the only types of rides that are a part of this bug as far as we know. :+1:

I added a few events on the TR calendar (now removed). Every one caused a jump in FTP prediction even though they were in the future (and thus uncompleted).

I imagine that adding events to the future also changes your future training.

Possibly… i added 4 X 1hr events in a fortnight and got 4 X 2w FTP prediction increases!
