I love this idea! ---

Now that AI FTP is out along with TR AI, (amazing work, guys!) I think a great next update would be to allow us to set a goal FTP and then TR AI creates a realistic training schedule/calendar for us to get there! There would be obvious caveats, but I think that would be cool to see realistically how long it would take and the workouts that would get us there. We could choose options like what plan builder has, but instead of your duration your would input your goal FTP. Let’s make this happen! ---

Imagine the complaints when the AI comes back with ‘won’t happen in this lifetime.’ 😉 ---

Ha! But to that point having it in a range, could actually be possible - maybe +10%-15% ?? ---

This but… I want TR AI to model out my current full power curve and then the projected/simulated future one. Then rather than choosing a single ftp number you are wanting to achieve it lets you shape your future potential power curve. That way i can communicate where i want to improve, and get information on how to pace an effort in my current form. (rather than picking some pretty arbitrary named training focus) And **as a bonus everyone stops moaning about what ftp means as they can just pick a duration they think it is**. ---

> [@Tom\_Barnes](#): > > And **as a bonus everyone stops moaning about what ftp means as they can just pick a duration they think it is**. That would be huge. I think most people who received an estimated fresh 20 minute and 60 minute power thought that they were pretty accurate with the AIFTP being within that bracket. ---

I’d take an AI max heart rate estimate and heart rate zones estimate. I know power is king and I don’t feel any need to change that but I’d love to learn more about how my heartrate is interacting with my training. I have zero interest in a max heart rate test though. ---

Would love to be able to work on a 10 week. I want to do 2-3-2 repeats to really build up my base. Thanks for the platform cheers alan ---

I’d love to be able to tell the AI what hours I have available per day each week and have it adjust the plan based on that, similar to Join. As someone with a roster which is never the same two weeks in a row the set days per week can be a challenge. ---

When a monopoly card is triggered on a hard workout in the future, have the system go back and reduce the intensity leading up to it. If its Friday and my workout on Saturday is being reduced to an endurance ride from a Threshold, the system should know to reduce todays ride or recommend a rest day. It wouldn’t need to do this forward looking calculations everytime, just use the monopoly card as a trigger. > [@TrainerRoad AI FTP Prediction FAQs](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/trainerroad-ai-ftp-prediction-faqs/110207/645): > > In the next version of AI Workout selection, when the AI hits a yellow day and recommends a substitute on a planned hard day, it should work backwards and reduce the intensity of workouts leading up to that planned hard day. It should sacrifice Friday for Saturday, rather then ask what is the best ride for Friday, schedule Friday, then ask what is the best ride for Saturday. It wouldn’t need to do that for every workout, just when the monopoly card shows up. ---

I would be interested to see what TR thinks my genetic FTP ceiling is around. ---

1000% this. It would be great for those of us using the improved power from TR to gauge effort in events and races and to tailor that fitness. But of course, your point about “FTP” is paramount. It’s a nonsense to say, ‘my FTP is X’ but it is not nonsense to say, ‘my mean maximal power at 60m is X’. ---

I would like to see current season. It can help see if we can expect to make much more this season vs last or something along those lines. It’s nice to know when we’re fighting genetics vs just failing to following the plan/balancing life. ---

I am thinking of this like functional benchmark power. Basically you select a workout, and mark it as your target, like something that models the thing you are working toward. Then it gives you the max ftp setting that it predicts you’ll be able to successfully complete that workout. Maybe \< 4% fail prediction. Then at least I have a benchmark I can count on. I’d even pay an extra dollar for TR advanced mode. ---

Then it gives you the max ftp setting that it predicts you’ll be able to successfully complete that workout. Maybe \< 4% fail prediction. Currently, you could place that target workout on your Calendar for today, then manually adjust your FTP number until the AI Predicted Difficulty of the workout dips just under your chosen level (eg. 4%). A bit of trial & error involved, but doable today… [Previous page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/trainerroad-feature-requests-of-what-athletes-expect-want-in-the-future/87214.md?page=67) [Next page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/trainerroad-feature-requests-of-what-athletes-expect-want-in-the-future/87214.md?page=69)
