What's the point of Teams?

I just joined my partner and I to see if we could share calendars but it doesn't appear to do that.

You can see people's calendars from their profile page. If you want both your calendars in one place you could export / link the iCal or Google Cal feed

Do you have an example link or whatever? Nothing in the Teams menu seems to show up her workouts. I was hoping I could see both our stuff on one calendar in TR but maybe that calendar export will have to do - as it stands though I don't see anything.

These are the settings

Maybe it just takes time to bring the workouts over?

You only get text about upcoming workouts though, not completed ones or graphics.

The team feed is shit, doesn't even show the user's name, just a list of completed workouts.

I see, sounds like work still to be done then.

I wanted to see upcoming workouts so I knew when I should bother taking my bike off the turbo and it would be good to see stuff she's done to mansplain cycling to her coz that's the foundation to a beautiful relationship. :)

Actually you get names in the team overview. You probably won't see anything until you or she does one.

iCal etc for up-coming, this for completed is the best we have so far.

I've done the calendar sync thing now. That'll do. I don't really need to do any analysis on her rides. TR can sort her shit out and I'll answers questions if she's got any.

Thanks

I have ramp test today.

It’s offering me AI detection instead but for some reason my brain won’t trust it.

Anyone done it and results?

I did AI and a test a week apart, same result

I spotted the button in settings yesterday and clicked it.
I've not completed any TR workout for a year, all outside data except 2 recent zwift rides.

TR vs Zwift predicted within 2w, a number I also predicted and would train with.
In short, I'd trust mine and work from there, skipping the ramp.

I used it for the first time yesterday.

It added 15W to my last test. My last test was absolute bollocks so I'll take it for now and see what happens. I'll likely retest soon though.

Which order?

Maybe it just took your test result or maybe you self-limited based on your AI test :)

Any reason to skip ramp works for me. Cheers

As @hippy says how was this done?

Interesting though if it’s that accurate.

AI before, test after. National Hill Climb in between.

Think my ramp tests have been compromised anyway since @cjr worked out and told me the exact time at which you’re into higher FTP territory. ie, anything past X mins = higher FTP, i I always hang on until at least then if I can.

I think I have done a blind ramp test at some point, came out the same.

I always hang on until at least then if I can.

Surely the goal is ALWAYS to hang on for as long as you can... I find that knowing the cut-off for an FTP bump has actually had the effect that I pull the plug earlier (assuming I reach that cut-off), rather than continuing on to actually reach my physical limit.

I kinda say to myself, "Well I have a higher FTP anyway so that's already a win" and it demotivates me for the final few minutes...

few minutes after FTP bump!? Are we doing the same test?

TrainerRoad gave me a sweet spot session instead.

What a life.

I assume so, but judging by your HC results you're a lot closer to your physiological potential than I am, so I still get pretty big jumps between my infrequent FTP tests, whereas yours are likely to be smaller more frequent changes...

I just float around 280-299 all the time. Never quite achieved the magic 300w

Just tested versus the ai because curiosity got the better of me.

AI was one over my test. Ah well now I know.

That chest burn. Lush.

Ooh that's a nice feature. I've had no motivation doing a ramp test lately, so I've missed it before. I used a conservative FTP guestimate going back to TR, and the AI detection was +3W. Seems credible, and I'm definitely fine not doing ramp tests.
