Hey everyone,
I want to share some new improvements to AI FTP Detection. The team has been hard at work to make AI FTP Detection easier to find, more intuitive to use, and easier to see how it works with Progression Levels to personalize your training. These updates were driven by athlete feedback, so thanks to all of you for helping us with the Early Access process!
1. AI FTP Detection can now be accessed from a button on your Account Settings page, located next to your FTP. It can also still be accessed from any scheduled FTP test on your calendar, and now you can use it from TrainerRoad.com (in addition to from the apps).
2. We’ve improved the experience of using AI FTP detection, clarifying how accepting an FTP Detection impacts your Progression Levels and, if you’re using AI FTP Detection from a scheduled Ramp Test, how AI FTP Detection replaces your test with a workout.
3. AI FTP Detection is now available to update your FTP every 28 days. Within those 28 days, clicking on AI FTP Detection will reveal a new timer counting down to when AI FTP Detection is next available to use. Between detections, your Progression Levels will continue to reflect ongoing progress across your training zones, workout to workout. AI FTP Detection and Progression Levels work together to give you the right workout at the right time, by tracking big-picture fitness trends, like changes in FTP, and fine-tuning your daily workout recommendations based on your goals and analysis of your most recent efforts.
As before, AI FTP Detection analyzes ALL rides with power data: whether indoors, outdoors, structured, or unstructured, AI FTP Detection tracks your fitness without the need for tests or all-out efforts. And as before, you still have the option to test your FTP any time you like with a Ramp Test or other method. The choice is yours!
Today’s updates are available to any athlete who has opted into AI FTP Detection via Early Access. If you’re already using AI FTP Detection, you don’t need to do anything to enable these improvements besides making sure you’re using the latest version of the TrainerRoad app.
And by the way, today’s updates are just the tip of the iceberg. We’ve got even bigger improvements coming to AI FTP Detection in the near future. Stay tuned, and let us know what you think!
