Can anyone tell me what the justification might be for these two to be almost a whole PL different when there’s marginal actual difference if comparing the effort profile. There’s 1TSS difference and the IF is .70 and .69 respectively.
Cadence drills in the workout with higher PL could be an explanation, since they can be quite taxing, especially in a 2h-workout.
Other than that I see no explanation. Might be worth checking if this is the case.
Aren’t these progression levels just assigned by the AI? Maybe it’s as simple as a greater percentage of people completed one than completed the other.
For sure check in with support@trainerroad.com so they can confirm you’re getting credit for those outside workouts, and that your plan is up to date and working through Adaptive Training. They’re quick to respond and will be happy to help!
