Depends where you sit on the Ramp test Bell Curve some folk it’ll overestimate and others it’ll underestimate. A quick google says it can be + or - 30w so it might not be accurate at all for you.
TRAIFTP is not meant to replicate a ramp test result. It’s a number that the AI thinks will make a Level 3 TH workout result in a “Hard” rating. For some users this will be close to whatever they previously saw as their FTP (from whatever method they preferred to trust), for some it could be significantly lower and for others significantly higher. This has been asked and answered over and over and over, and is even covered in interviews with the CEO. I think people aren’t offering that simple answer to your question because we’ve all spent months seeing and replying to this same question over and over and over, and there are clearly people trolling the forum. I don’t mean that to be critical of your post, just to point out that I think there’s a LOT of “let’s talk about FTP vs. TRAIFTP” fatigue.
I think you answered your own question. Is the AI FTP giving you workouts that match the predicted difficulty?
In your example do you care if the gun is accurate or precise? Maybe for the rifle you want it to be precise because you can adjust where the safety queen you want to be accurate.
I agree with the others here in that Ramp Tests really aren’t the best way to find FTP. It’s a singular effort that often rewards athletes with high anaerobic capacities, and punishes those without.
We believe that a data-driven approach that uses all of your ride data alongside millions of others is a much better way to determine fitness.
Pre-AIFTP, we utilized Ramp Tests as they were a good option at the time, and we were able to fine-tune athlete fitness with Progression Levels afterward, but AI FTP Detection is the much better option.
The key to FTP is defining your training zones and getting solid, productive training long-term, so using the higher number isn’t always better.
