The Indoor Riding/ Zwift/ TrainerRoad etc. Thread

That's fair. Does it load things like HRV in from Garmin? I know my watch is on similar recovery, but i went a little zero>100 for the new year and probably over did it with 5 days in a row of relatively hard cycling after around a month of laziness. Need to get back into a more regular routine.

I guess maybe the mid ground is Training Peaks and Indievelo? Although i think that's more aimed at having an actual coaching program rather than an AI based model

I’ve been impressed with TR so far. I’ve completed 3 months and my FTP is probably the best it has been at 327. My nemesis workout on zwift was the SST alternating 295/275 and it would be hit and miss for completing. Now the 295 blocks feel sustainable for 20 minutes with HR under 170. I haven’t completed a zwift race for a while though, I think my next block finishes in 2 weeks so will give it a go.

I think it is always difficult to know as before when I did random zwift events you aren’t tracking ftp. So it could be that I have been at similar levels before but most events are never intense enough to hit PBs. At some point I will do an alpe du zwift as it would be a fairly good comparison of performance and factor weight changes (read as gain!)
