Mislabeled Intensity on Workout - #4 by ridgerider2 -
Ramp rate determines how quickly training load increases over time and how many hours per week you need to train to achieve your goals. For example, you might start a TED (target event date) progression at 3-5 hours/week with a goal of reaching 10-12 hours/week prior to the event. Improvement Rate (IR) controls that increase. If you modify IR (improvement rate) under Goals the weekly changes are shown when you drag the ATP slider on the Training page.
For an event like that you’ll want to spend some long hours in the saddle while training, but no need to actually ride 10 hours at a time.
