Let's See Your BREAKTHROUGHS! đŸ’„

Hmm. If you’re hitting your highest power output of the race at the very end, then even making significant adjustments to your HIE wouldn’t help too much - it’d be all used up by the final sprint anyways. Xert is adjusting TP since having a higher TP would allow your MPA to remain sufficiently high for the final high-power sprint.

Is your Peak Power accurate? An HIE of 30 kJ with a Peak Power of only ~850W would be very rather unusual. For reference my PP is ~1100 and I have an HIE of ~25 kJ.

Thanks Scott

True - my PP is maybe “stale” as I haven’t done a perfect sprint for quite a while. At 59kg, 850W is maybe not that far from your 1100?

I understand the reason for the TP adjustment but not adding just a bit of HIE, seems odd. With only 7h/week and a TL below 70, it would be rather unlikely (?) to have a TP of 4,36 W/kg.

One thing I noticed is that despite having a perfect training week my TP had (prior to this BT) gone down by 1. I have normal decay, and could experiment with less decay for the TP area.

I don’t like changing TP too much, the current signature have after all brought me to a very competitive state. So I’ll raise my TP to 240, add 2 to my HIE and try to do an all out sprint to verify if I could hit 900 which I think is possible

Any better suggestion?

You might try adjusting the TP, HIE and PP and the pressing Extract to get a new fitness signature. The MPA is now a flat line in your chat, which indicates that Xert was not able to extract the fitness signature.

Continuing the recovery from an extended period with reduced training
 gold BT from a dedicated 12 min effort. Seems generous to increase PP but maybe it’s from the easy warm up sprints (which hardly moved the MPA needle)

Doing a pretty steady ride on Rouvy and I pushed a bit on a climb and got a nice gold BT. It’s been a while!!
