  • 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?

  • Think it needs more than 3 months to give any meaningful indication.

    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.

  • There is a forum on Intervals.icu.

    Some people seem fine riding in the red zone for a long time, but others just don't ride when in it.

    It takes me quite a lot of TSS to go into the red zone - I've just gone over 600 for the week which has dipped me into it, and I feel like a day off tomorrow is needed. So it seems to work well for me.
