VO2 max session done. Legs felt good. Breathing told me everything I need to know.

Seems to be OK, but I only got into the Beta the day before it went public. So haven't done too many workouts with it so far. It was a bit deflating seeing my FTP fall but AI is predicting it'll be back to where it was in 20days 😐
I like most of the concepts. I think the AI has been selecting the workouts for some time now behind the scenes.
The change in FTP Detection is going to take a lot of explaining by TR - mine went up by 4 and my wifee's went down by 1 - so no big deal either way - but some people are seeing massive swings up or down.
The debate is entertaining anyway.
A hard Sweet Spot yesterday and an easy Z2 today for me.

Mine went down 15 watts but in 20 odd days they are predicting a 14w increase. I was going to do an easy group ride today but it rained all morning and I thought I'd take TR's advice of making it easier still, it typically stopped raining when I made that decision :-/

The group ride was cancelled today. I think it wasn’t as bad as forecasted just one or two showers and constant grey. But TrainerRoad reccomended after yesterday’s fast group ride an easy day today and what TR didn’t see.
So I decided to have another go at MyWhoosh. It was reading about half of the watts recorded by the pedals last time but I think I just needed to route the pedals bluetooth through the trainer. After doing so there was just 1w between the Garmin and MyWhoosh.

Lol, after the My Whoosh Z2 ride I thought I'd try associating it to a TR Outdoor ride and that triggered another AI FTP detection which gave me 7watts back and the new prediction takes me 3w past my pre the new platform. I wouldn't have thought 2 hard workouts (Anaerobic & VO2max) 2 Endurance workouts and an outdoor ride (HR only) would have resulted in a 7w increase over the initial AI FTP D.
Are you saying it did another FTP detection OR that it is giving you a higher forecast FTP in 4 weeks time?

Both, it triggered a new AIFTPD yesterday which was 7 watts higher than last week. I doubt that the workouts I had done in the interim equated to that rise. Then it the reset 28day prediction was also higher by 3w.

Nothing spectacular tonight just the first workout in my scheduled recovery week. Did it in resistance mode (apart from the cooldown which I done in ERG) so I could play with the + and - keys to relieve the monotony.

Recovery ride today after a 210km Audax on Sat
Nice. How did it go?

Glad it was on Saturday, that was the nice day of the weekend.

The first workout in my new plan was a SS one (Antelope-5). I think I found the first two 10 min low SS blocks easy to moderate but I stood a few times (43secs worth) in the last two blocks with high SS block killing my cadence so I rated it as hard. Doing so lowered my predicted AI FTP by 1w. Whilst rating it as ‘moderate’ would raise the predicted AI FTP by 5w, I decided to err on the side of caution and take the 1w drop.

Quicker than i thought and tucking in to nice evening meal earlier than expected. Weather not too bad, just rain last couple of hours.
