Why has my eftp gone down?

Training
1

I ride between 100-200 km per week for several weeks.
last week due i rode slightly less. i played soccer instead.

i notice today my eftp is lower than last week. my fitness is still high… but my form is now positive after being negative for several weeks.

is this normal the eftp just decreases in just a week time?

If you reduce training load it decays slowly. If you go and do a long enough max effort it will come back up again. Intervals.icu needs a max effort to get a new value.
