Unexplained sudden increase of my TP this day (no activity)

Hello,

I’m connecting tonight to check what’s on schedule/plan and I see my TP is set at 280W whereas it was at 247W this morning :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I look at the activities, in table mode, and I can see there’s a normal progression last months.

I identify a breakup about 1 year ago:

What’s happening ???

I’m lost… thanks in advance for the help and sorry for my poor english writing.

Post your XPMC set to 3 months.

When was your last Breakthrough? (shown under your name on Today page)
For example, here’s mine –

long time ago !

A “little” update. In the activities table, I found hidden activity that has been not impacted by the problem. Perhaps it could help…

That looks like a dual recording on Feb 13. Same time, same date. One on your Garmin and the other on Wahoo System. You can delete one of them or the hidden feature applies (duplicate detected).
Do you have other duplicates like that on file?

What is your Decay Method set to under Profile Settings?

While you can ride for extended periods without BTs it’s always a good idea to put in some maximal efforts now and then. Over a year without a BT is too long of a gap. :slight_smile:
Here’s how to resolve the situation.
Outdoors: A couple max sprints (10-20secs), rest, then perform an escalating set of intervals >TP with short recoveries riding to a complete failure point on the final interval.
Indoors: Ride one of the “fitness test” workouts in Slope mode, exceeding targets if able, and always to failure on the interval designed for that purpose.

Also note you can flag any activity if you wish to exclude a signature calculation you don’t agree with, but retain the strain score analysis.

I had some exchanges with Xert Support. We did not spend time to analyze the reasons why, but they set a new signature fitness that would permit me to follow my training.

Dealing with the hidden activity, the Support confirm me that they are not used in the calculations, so no problem if this is a duplicate.

Now I will go on til ma event on april 6, then I will run a fitness test, that will permit to reset my signature I think.

Thanks for the time spent on my issue !
