Useless recommended sessions?

Hey @aftersun :slight_smile: Welcome to TR!

Unless you have an event planned that you’ll be completing, then the Increasing FTP plan is the right plan to increase your FTP.

@Pbase did a great job explaining that when you first get started with TR, the first few workouts may seem/feel easy, and this is intentional. This way, the system can calibrate where you need to be in intensity level. As you can see, your next VO2 Max workout has a level of 3.4. As you keep completing the workouts, they will become even more fine-tuned to you!

Here is also a great article a colleague of ours just posted not that long ago, which I think you’ll find very helpful: How TrainerRoad Builds Adaptive Training Plans for You

Lastly, I just wanted to mention that at TR, we are firm believers that power is the ultimate training measure :see_no_evil_monkey: as it does not vary by external factors like HR does. So while HR can be a useful metric for training, your TR workouts will be power-based.
