Freshness Feedback (FF) slider is used only with XATA programs to temporarily override caculated form to generate a harder or easier list of recommended workouts. Slam the sider to left or right to see the differences.
For example, form indicates Fresh/Blue (HIT workout) today but you prefer to ride easy.
Or you’d like to tackle an even harder than normal workout and want to quickly see some choices.
On an XFAI plan you can use Filter to accomplish the same. If you stray too far “off course” the Adapt Forecast warning will appear after the completed activity is uploaded. You can then investigate what the imbalance is and decide whether to adapt the forecast.
If you need more or less recovery on a continuing basis you should adjust the Recovery Demands slider instead.
