- Activity must include heart rate data from either a built-in optical heart rate sensor or from a chest strap
- 95% of the average power for a 20-minute interval within the ride must be greater than the current FTP setting
- The average power for that interval of time must be greater than the previous 20-minute power record.
...but the
bolded parts of that seem to suggest it will only report a new FTP estimate, if it was higher than the last (unless I'm reading it wrong?)
But from experience, the FTP estimates I get can go up or down by a few points depending on how good (or not good) I have been feeling that day, which (again, unless I am reading it wrong), shouldn't be possible under those highlighted conditions?
