Cycling Workouts: Discussion/Encouragement/Sharing/Banter

[Ming the Merciless]

FTP test done and peaked at 95% max HR. I sustained the effort pretty well. Looking forward to getting back into training next week. The effort for the test was a shock, not having done such hard and sustained work for a few months.

TrainerRoad AI checks to see if it needs to adapt the planned workouts based on how previous workouts have gone. It is interesting to watch the adaptations it suggests which are normally pretty fairly incremental.

I just looked this morning and it has moved my next Tuesday effort from a VO2 max level 1.5 workout to a level 6.3 which seems a bit of a leap

You've probably found out but they've updated AI as to actual ability you have shown. Where as the first version I don't think moved you more than 0.5 which was frustrating for folks entering the system as AI took a long time to get to their actual ability if they had a lot of training history. My tabled PL's are all mostly under 2.0 as I've been doing a lot of outside group riding but not proper training sessions but during that time workouts have been adapting to level 4 or 5 workouts.
