Hmm. If youâre hitting your highest power output of the race at the very end, then even making significant adjustments to your HIE wouldnât help too much - itâd 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.
True - my PP is maybe âstaleâ as I havenât 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 donât like changing TP too much, the current signature have after all brought me to a very competitive state. So Iâll 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
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 itâs from the easy warm up sprints (which hardly moved the MPA needle)
On Sundays I typically do an easy 3h-group ride during winter. Normally just collecting base-miles and hanging on each others wheels in a large bunch.
After leaving the group and heading home I felt pretty good yesterday, so I decided to push for a breakthrough. This is the ride: Xert - Activity | Tough Polar Rouleur Ride. The Garmin CIQ-field on my Edge 530 reported a breakthrough already at 2:34h, but obviously it wasnât even so close. Luckily I pushed over the following road bridge and got the breakthrough at 2:40h.
Is there any way to tweak the CIQ-field to be more reliable? It would have been really frustrating if I would have decided to easen up already after the first effort.
The Connect IQ fields cannot duplicate the second by second analysis of the XO server.
Itâs not a reliability issue so much as precision based.
The best policy with the BT alert on the app is to keep going if you have anything left in the tank or go again like you did.
Itâs possible you had two BTs (or Near BT) during that ride. Use the Previous button under the chart to confirm. The routine will adjust your signature accordingly to show only one instance.
Training done on a slight uphill, it was supposed to be a ladder down, but somehow it went well despite the heavy last week. Not much was missing to gold, but Iâve only been running with Xert for 5 weeks and Iâve already had 4 bronzes.
