As I am often not so happy with the CP as derived by atheltica – due to repeatedly limited PDC data over last 6 weeks – I am used to set it manually myself. This does not seem to be possible anymore?
currently you cannot directly set or update your threshold power within the Athletica platform yourself. Threshold values are updated automatically based on your recent performance data (like ramp tests or maximal efforts) that you log into the system.
If you want to update your threshold power because you believe it’s outdated, the best approach is to:
Complete a new threshold test (such as a 20-minute time trial or ramp test) and upload the workout.
Ensure your max effort intervals or any maximal sustained efforts are recorded and synced—they will be used by Athletica to recalculate your threshold automatically.
Manual entry or adjustment is not available at this time. If you feel your detected threshold is inaccurate due to missed data or errors, you can adjust your future sessions by modifying your target powers or RPE accordingly, or reach out to Athletica support for guidance.
Which, together with the “poor” predictions with limited data – is really unfortunate.
Just to reiterate, I have no problem with the analysis as such, I know that the data is “limited” to say it nicely, but I also know more – i.e., there might be a build phase with intensity work in the gym instead of one the bike … which leads atheletica to assume a too low APR and too high CP… just let me use my “added knowledge” to adjust it:-)
PS: Yes, I just changed the value in the old UI and that obviously works for now, but I fear is not a sustained option;-)
