Which FTP for load?

Training
1

Hi, All.

Can someone tell me which FTP, fixed or estimated, Intervals uses to calculate training load?

If it’s based on eFTP, having started riding mostly outdoors where I don’t have a PM, Is there anything I can do, other than max efforts indoors (please, no!), to arrest the decay of eFTP and resulting inflation of TL?

Thanks.

Training load should be based on your FTP, not eFTP. Go set your FTP and/or indoor FTP in the Settings.

As for the decay of eFTP, that will depend on your efforts w/in the current training window which I believe is 42d by default. Depending on your efforts, it is reasonable to see a decrease in eFTP which may not accurately reflect your real FTP. You basically need to feed the model w/hard efforts of specific duration in order for the estimate to be more “accurate”.
