Yeah, ok, some of that makes sense. But essentially what you're telling me is that I need to do a "test" when the benefit of the program is that I don't need to "test". And if I don't, then all of my training is at the wrong numbers, either now or before. And this didn't happen gradually due to decay, it dropped more than 10% in a single session. I've recalculated it a bunch of ways, using differnet decay ( I turn decay down or off during base because the lack of intense efforts doesn't equate to an ftp drop).jlok wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 3:26 pmIf you have been doing base you may consider using No Decay or simply do a Breakthrough from time to time. That dropped "FTP" (Xert don't really say FTP I think) just make you easier to breakthrough again.glepore wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 3:01 pmXert, in my experience, isn't a whole lot better than GC in terms of figuring out threshold. But it does allow for auto synch. If you have a garmin headunit the MPA is very nice, but useless to Wahoo folks. Their training recommendations tend to be geared to folks that don't need much recovery, so ymmv.
I don't understand its model all of the time, yesterday it dropped my ftp by 10% suddenly. Now, granted, I've been doing a bunch of base stuff recently but still....
I did base for last December and at the start of January I did a "test" and boom the signature is improved beyond my believe.
BTW, you did a near breakthough so that Xert adjusted your TP down 10%?

My point in all of this is that the software works, but only for people that don't polarize to a great degree, either macro or micro.
