Last weekend I completed Lion Rock +3, rating it hard. The robot gave full points for all the zones, except the target zone - threshold. It assigned 1.0/1.4. That seemed a pretty steep reduction for what I thought was a successful workout. Despite running in erg mode, the threshold portions of the intervals averaged about 5W lower than target. I thought that might be the cause - less time in zone, but Lion Rock -1 is the same workout, with one fewer interval sets, and is rated a 1.2.
So I’m scratching my head. Not because I think I should’ve gotten full credit (though maybe a little), but because I don’t understand what’s driving the reduction, so i can’t correct it. If I think I’m succeeding at the workout, but the robot doesn’t, I want to understand why. For reference, here’s a screenshot The brief dip during the warmup is a few seconds to turn on the fan.
And if it matters, this was done in Zwift, with Zwift controlling the trainer.
