Question about initial Adaptive Training setup and results

TrainerRoad Software

So I am starting my training program again after riding outdoors for the past 6 or 7 months. Prior to the app update it showed by various levels at numbers ranging from about 2 to 4.6. After the AT update everything is at a 1.0 except endurance and it is at 3.6. Now the strange part is that if I look at the TSS of the standard Sweet Spot Base, each workout is quite a bit lower than the modified TSS of the AT program.

Is that normal ?
Will it be adjusted after my ramp test and my first few weeks of training?

Pretty much. AT is fairly conservative until it knows how you react to what it hands you.

I figured as much, however, what confuses me is that the TSS of the adapted rides is higher than the non-adapted. I would have thought it was the other way around. I guess I will just have to ride and input my difficulty number at the end of each ride and let it do its thing.

Update, just completed the Ramp Test and now the adjustments have been made. All good.
