Think it needs more than 3 months to give any meaningful indication. Training / riding with power? FTP / zones based on a test? How do you feel?

Yeah, that's what I gathered as well. But also didn't want to just ignore something that says "high risk"! Especially since I wasn't riding a lot before lockdown started, so it's entirely possible that I could overdo it.
Power comes from my smart trainer. FTP comes from both interval's estimate and the occasional ramp test (which are fairly similar). Also got a HRM now so I can get zone estimates from my outdoor rides.
I generally feel fine, but I've also not been riding huge amounts (3/4 rides a week). I'd like to ride more though, but been worried about pushing myself further into the "high risk" zone.
Quick question about intervals.icu (for anyone who has used it). I know nothing about training, so having a bit of an overview of progress is interesting and motivating. However, should I not ride when my form is in the "high risk"/red zone? I'm not sure if it's because there's not a lot of data to estimate my overall fitness (only been updating data to Strava for three months), or if I'm just unfit, but I can only ride every other day (if that) if I want to stay out of it.
