I’ve mentioned this in a few threads, but it deserves its own post. The new AI doesn’t actually know anything about FTP or workout levels. It only sees raw power and heart rate, then figures out the next best wattage for you. After that, we translate those watts back into FTP and workout levels so…

Mine is unchanged which surprised me following Nate’s comments.

I was tempted to drop it myself considering her said a way to hack into doing higher PL workouts is to lower it. This ripped the bandaid off for me haha.

I pressed the button this morning, after the changes went live. This seems… a little excessive, especially in light of struggling with some workouts last week & the week before. [image] But I reminded myself, it’s only a training number, just go with it :person_shrugging: just like I did when it…

I assume your athlete PLs have dropped down to compensate though?

I am going to be disappointed if it does away with my tempo 199.7 PL! [IMG_2726]

It wants me back in the mid-6s pretty much straight away, notably with Eclipse on Monday week 2, which on the surface seems reasonable (& it will almost certainly be changed by then), but this is uncharted territory for me so it’s a bit daunting. S’p…

Just tried it. Calendar UI is a bit buggy, sometimes it fails to load an AI selected workout. And it can generate some weird selections, like Wright Peak, which is 5 levels above my current SS PL. Deleting and retrying or restarting the app can help. I also get some dropped frame rates on the calen…

When I was doing in the past, before AI-TR, longer outsides I could interchange the planned TR-Workout into a longer ride with higher TSS to match the TSS of the outside ride. The progression level was than showing the real progress instead of the planned progress. Now with AI-TR it seems not possi…

[image] Markus: planned TR-Workout into a longer ride with higher TSS to match the TSS of the outside ride. This was never recommended behaviour - you shouldn’t be matching workouts to outside rides that are not the exact workout. You don’t need to do this - all your work is taken into accou…
