[image] The Bell curve of cylists - how fast are the average TR users? Training I just saw this thread and I can shed some light on it slight_smile. Remember, this data is for SELF REPORTED FTP and Weight. I suspect this can be a lot more accurate if we threw…

Thanks Chad, you just summarized at length what I said. :grinning:

An API to fetch data from Trainerroad would be awesome. I do some Knowledge Engineering when I don’t learn work-related stuff and combining cycling with learning new stuff would be awesome. Highly doubtful to see this feature though.
