A quick way to validate your signature (when you’re feeling fresh) is to ride this 30 min Breakthrough workout in Slope mode (not AUTO) using gears/cadence to attain targets.
That’s two all-out short sprints (7 secs) plus four escalating VO2 max intervals to draw MPA down.
Total effort time is less than 10 minutes.
Exceed targets if able and make sure to ride to a failure point on the last interval extending the duration as necessary. That’s why you want to ride it in Slope mode so the intervals are not under trainer control.
If you’re up for one more sprint, right before you are about to fail, spin up (stand if you want) and try to sprint for at least 5-7 secs before collapse.
This is the type of effort (indoors or outdoors) that validates your signature in Xert.
If a BT is detected your signature values will adjust. The numbers will also fluctuate moving forward based on your training load and intensity but it’s occasional maximal efforts under fatigue that confirm your signature is dialed in.
