We’re slowly rolling out the new TrainerRoad AI today, and I want to answer some FAQs. What is AI FTP Prediction? AI FTP Prediction simulates your planned workouts in your calendar and predicts your FTP on the prediction date. Your date is initially 4 weeks out; it will get closer as you approach…

It was definitely a little short and maybe a few watts shy of the recommendations. Didn’t want to wear myself down too much for the big ride tomorrow. I can see a slight decrease in predicted FTP, but 8 watts seems to be a lot for not nailing one endurance ride.

Was Boarstone originally on your calendar, or did you add it and then do it? Looking at your calendar, I notice that you’re pretty much going straight back into hard intervals after your big ride. I wonder what would happen if you took Cenizo out and gave yourself an extra recovery day? Good luck …

I don’t blame you at all. Hope you crush tomorrow.

Thanks! I was planning on moving Cenizo back a day (as well as Asta) but I will play around with removing it and see how that affects the PFTP.

The longer I think about - I‘m not sure what I should do with my FTP or predicted FTP. I have a goal in mind (climbs of around 3h length) and want to train for it. I‘d love to have a „number“ for my goal. E.g. „in four weeks you should be able to hold a long climb at x watts“. I don‘t care about th…

I’ve been off TR for a long time as I had some frustrations with the old system struggling with properly managing the impact of workouts done outside of TR (outdoors or on other indoor platforms than zwift). I’ve had my longest spell off the bike in 7 years, starting almost from nothing, and I’m ex…

My ftp prediction went down from 213 to 211 after doing this workout. I completed it without breaks. The cadence drops were me out of the saddle. Does AI consider out of the saddle riding a ding on performance of the workout? [image]

Did you accept the new AIFTP? If not, what you are seeing is pretty common. Highly recommend accepting the new FTP and letting the new system do its thing. BTW, accepting doesn’t mean you are slower or less fit. You are just accepting a training metric that works MUCH better with this new release.

Similar thing happened to me. Finished a workout on Thursday and predicted FTP actually went up +1 w to a +6 in 25 days.

Woke up today and the prediction is now showing as -1 instead of +6 with no activity in between. Something is off.
