One more breakthrough for me. Xert keeps pushing up my TP, I suspect my PP and HIE should be higher and TP lower.

2.5 min step test instead of classic ramp. Think we can definitely hit 260/270w tp this year at this rate. And maybe 900+ peak (885 was highest now) . And I dont even race, just for fun…

Next time, don’t get close to a BT and stop before getting there and also when you reach the BT, keep going. This will help sort out the split between PP/HIE/TP. Stopping arbitrarily close to MPA can confuse the algorithm and hide your true nature of fatigue. Just riding without following a pattern, gives better results.

Thanks for the advice. I did 30/30ies in mixed mode (rest in ERG and hard in slope). Wasn’t able to press rewind interval before it was too late. Especially since I was standing.
Some power meters are slow to detect an abrupt drop in power and can linger (so called “sticky” power) or will more slowly decrease the power (hard to detect) and this can affect the algorithm. When you have lots of short on/off intervals, these can possibly inflate your signature as a result. Again, doing what comes natural is better than “contrived” workout patterns.
I see. This was done with the internal power meter on a Wahoo Kickr Bike v1. ERG power smoothing turned off.
Hi everyone. I had to flag this workout „hardness test level 15” because of a near breakthrough. Why was my MPA leveled so low comparing to the normal signature of the workout before I started it? My freshness was blue and I just completed everything in smart mode. Normally this workout should not reach MPA or am I wrong?
What is your current status stars count?
That should have been a very hard workout to complete. Was it?
How much did your signature values change before you flagged it? (you can unflag to see then flag again)
Level 15??!! Crazy!
Since you’re spending a lot of time near TP, just a few watts higher can bring MPA down a lot more than what you see in the original workout. How close you get is also dependent on your signature.
Chapeau!
